“And a M4 carbine fires a .223 caliber round, which is 5.56 millimeters, at about 3,000 feet per second. When it hits a human body, the effects are devastating. It’s designed to do that. That’s what our soldiers ought to carry.”

This guy is a pure moron.

.223 is devastating, as opposed to all the others? Please.

".223 is devastating, as opposed to all the others? Please."

I think the reason the 5.56mm AR is so popular with farmers and ranchers for varmint control is that it's much easier to carry and shoot than a 7.62mm and more effective than the .22LR. It has been a matter of debate since the AR15 was introduced in Vietnam if the 5.56 NATO round is even powerful enough.
