There is no doubt that, given the same circumstances, a 7.62 round will have more stopping power than a 5.56 round. I've seen wounds cause by an AK-47 round - 7.62 - and an M-16 - 5.56 - and in both instances the subjects were just a dead. In the heat, over a long distance, with all the body armor used in Iraq, I'd take the M-16 where I could carry more ammo. It was the same in Nam.
Why do we go through this again and again? This seems more appropriate over a few beers with old soldiers and foggy memories.

Sir, please clarify the above statement.
A 7.62 round, more commonly called the .308 here in America, is a better fight stopper than the 5.56.
However, the 5.56 is superior compared to the round commonly shot by our raghead enemies, which measures 7.62 x 39.

Absolutely correct, sir! Me, too.
