Oh, fer cripes' sake! Do we have to fight THIS battle again???? And from media who don't know a 5.56 mankiller from a 6.5 Mannlicher.

This is just more media buzz to undermine confidence in our equipment. The 5.56 will kill a raghead just as dead as dropping an anvil on him.

I'll be shooting my little black rifle this weekend.

Long range vs short range, penetration vs stopping power, light vs heavy, there is no perfect round or weapons system. What they have in one area they lack in another.

There is a big difference in wt between 390 rds of 5.56 and 390 rds of 7.62.
