.223 is a Varment Rifle Round...If I were to snipe people it would be with somthing that had some punch, a 7mm or 306...I do find it definatly odd that a .223 is the chosen round...

Varmint rounds have a nice flat trajectory though and
the .224 bullets traveling at 3000+ feet per second
can cause some real havoc on soft tissue.
Take a look at these pictures and video clips of what
they can do to soft skined targets.

He is near perfect in his kills. Enough punch to devastate the human body.

"...odd that a .223 is the chosen round.."

It's very cheap, right now. Like, 10 cents a round for Wolf ammo. You remember Wolf, don't you? That's the ammo the Russians were importing into America in the green military boxes. Then Clinton said military ammo was bad and outlawed it. So the Russians, always ready to take advantage of an ignorant dimocrat, changed the box, put a wolf on the front, and called it hunting ammo. Clinton said that was fine. Exact same ammo, though.
