or are you buying in the anti gun propaganda that .223 is way to much overkill for citizens..the king of super "mankiller" round that way more powerful then you typical hunting round?
From StG44 to the AK to the AR15 the idea was a reduced size round..an intermediate cartridge vs the full power military round...
“intermediate cartridge vs the full power military round...”
There is no such thing as “full power military”. None. It is strictly a matter of opinion.
