Not that it matters, but what is the weight an individual soldier has to carry around of 5.56 vs. equal number of rounds of 7.62 ammo? I think most grunts would happily hump a couple extra pounds if means having an effective weapon.

Our Troops aren't doing very many marches in Iraq, however, that might matter more in the mountainous terrain of Afghanistan.
