"AR bullet velocity is like 2-3x than a handgun or something which is a huge difference on impact."

Just because it's a high velocity round does not mean it will do more damage. Velocity provides more reach....
So is his!!! I don't mean that pejoratively; just a fact.

Physics 101: F=MxV
Force = mass x velocity.
I do not want to explain how this force, plus the modern design of bullets, impacts on a body.
Probably the biggest reason rifles have more muzzle velocity than pistols is because the longer barrel can harness the the power of the powder for a longer time/distance. Bullet design & weight are also factors.
There is a reason even the poorest "soldiers" use an AK rather than an Enfield, like they used to. A: Because it is a better killing machine.
