[QUOTE="458win, post: 78324, member: 3423"] [b]Might as well add some of 5.56 insights to....[/b] Just a few of the things that I have overheard about the M-16 in my brief time in the army. 1. The 5.56 bullet is made so it does more damages by not exiting but my tumbling inside the body and having the wonderful power of going in your leg and coming out your neck. 2. The Army only has you shoot at 300meters because apparently the 5.56 hits the ground soon after. (Makes you wonder if they give the marines a different round because theres seem to be able to make it 550yds [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]) 3. The army adopted the 5.56 round because it was the most accurate and penetrated deeper then a 7.62. (Hmmm so if a 223FMJ penetrates deeper then a 308 why dont we take it down to the next step like a 17HMR and get maximum penetration) 4. The army adopted the 5.56 because it was so good at "brush busting." These are just a few of the good ones I remember gettin a laugh at. Good luck and good shooting! [/QUOTE]
