Re: Unbelievable

Actually, this may surprise you, but you are precisely wrong in that. Which is to say, your belief is not only wrong, it's actually the opposite of the truth. Assault rifles -- TRUE assault rifles -- were designed to wound, not to kill.

Utter myth. A wounded man is still capable of killing you.

Anyway, the M-193 5.56mm ball round actually is deadlier than a heavier round, according to studies. A heavy round like a 7.62mmN will punch through, leave a clean wound channel. A 5.56mmN will bounce around in soft tissue.

That being said, the point of any firearm is to kill. rats to elephants, the only point of a firearm is to drive bits of metal into a living object at high speed.
