So theres no real world data on 762x39, fine you could have just said that which would have answered my question.
The ammo oracle pic only restates what I already said. The best 556 is a whole lot better then the worst 762. fwiw you and i seem to be in agreement. I was just asking for data i havnt seen. |
|
Uhh... the ammo oracle lists the best "real world" data we have in the form of gel tests. Furthermore, if you would read the chart, you will see it lists both M43 AND M855, and M855 is ANYTHING but the "best" 5.56 available.
Unfortunately, terminal ballistics isn't something that is easy to test, due to the variables inherent in such a chaotic event as a bullet hitting tissue and reacting to doing so. Gel tests are the best we have that can be scientifically analyzed and spoken about with some semblance of authority. Did you even read my post, or did you just scroll past the graphic and post? |
|
Yeah i read it. Did you read mine?
I wasnt refering to 855. I was refering to the 77hpbt To me real world data is information gathered from autopsies or bn surgical units. Because of body armor and the medical treatment .mil recieves its hard to draw really good comparisons between the effectiveness of the 2 weapon systems beyond the ammo oracle that we've all seen for years. I was asking for any data that I might have missed |

I haven't shot a human before. I have shot plenty of animals. I've seen M193 kill something dead as a chip with one shot. I've seen a beaver take 6 rounds before it quit swimming around. I've seen 7.62x39 kill lots of things drt and I've seen a HP round blow a whitetail deer's shoulder clean off on exit. I can tell you that 7.62 will blow clear through most medium sized trees and keep going. 5.56 is more likely to be stopped. Anyone that has shot enough animals will tell shot placement is king and you never can be sure that an animal is going to drop dead from being shot. People get all wrapped around the axle about this, but the truth is, they both will kill the crap out of stuff, people included. As a side note, people keep saying the AK lacks in ergonomics or needs modernizing or you can't accessorize it. You can easily attach a sling, light and optic to an AK. What else do you need? Pick one and train with it. Or get both and train with both. Don't know why I keep getting sucked back into this discussion... Eta: Nameless Hobo, I'm not sure why I quoted you.

View Quote This. I personally think that anyone would be stupid to start their defensive battery nowadays with non-prolific calibers (6.5 grendel, .41AE, etc), but the simple fact is, those calibers are as capable as most anything to be found in the more mainstream choices; and a person using them would be as well-armed as they would be with the more common calibers. Within very broad limits of reasonable power, as others have said, it really is a matter of "the indian, not the arrow". |

Don't remember if I posted in here yet, probably did but I'll post again.
In a true SHTF/TEOTWAWKI scenario, it doesn't matter what you use. Wartime experience means little because of one thing...EMS. If you're looking to drop someone DRT, brain hits are your only option. Even a .22LR will kill, if not from organ damage but from infection. Point being, pick a platform and caliber you are comfortable with and stop worrying. If you're concerned about defeating barriers in these types of scenarios, the bigger question is whay are you trying to defeat them? Remember, if they aren't getting EMS then neither are you. |

Simple is best. An AR which is an army clone like a PSA, DPMS, S&W. Carbine length gas tube, standard front sight. Magpul MOE hadguard rail- they are lightweight, & cheap. For a stock I like the SOPMOD type as you can store batteries for your light in them. Also a tango down VFG if you are going to use a VFG because they hold a spare bolt head and firing pin, along with a pistol grip with storage for a retaining pin and cam pin .A good sling, a light like a M3. Rear sight - cut down a carry handle. For optics, I think the best choice is a trijicon reflex. They are very durable and don't use batteries.
For a back up, get a SKS and store it seperately with some stripper clips and a sardine can of ammo and one of those chi com chest racks that hold a bunch of clips. |

I counted the other day and I know personally five people that were shot with a .22, ludicrous I know. However all of them were fine and all of them were walking around like nothing was wrong, and one of them was shot 7 times during a robbery. The FBI statistics put death from a .22 at about 7% of the time. But who cares about death as you pointed out, regardless you need a caliber where someone knows they are shot at least.

A rifle for survival should be dictated by your location and situation. Reliability and ammunition selection should be some of the driving factors in your decision.
I use a AR as my go to rifle if the SHTF because I am familiar with it and I can break it down to a small package. Im in a urban / suburban environment so low profile is the way to go. If I was in Alaska or a rural setting I'm sure I would choose something different like a bigger caliber or action type. My AR is a fighting gun first and foremost since I'm in a urban / suburban environment. I have other things like snare sets, fishing tackle and smaller guns like a .22LR to harvest animals. My goal is to live to see another day and staying off the radar using passive collection of animals, foraging for edibles to supplement my food stores as much as possible. Being able to bring the pain to bear in short order is an advantage a magazine fed semi auto rifle has and I don't want to blow my load without a good reason. Also two is one one is none, remember how gun owners were treated during Katrina? A second weapon outside of your primary AO is probably a good idea. |

I shot over 30 wild dogs in Iraq in 2004. Over half were with 62gr FMJ out of a 14.5" M4. Took 2-3 rds to kill a dog. Small hole going in and a small hole going out. The dogs would run for three counties.
I took to shooting them in the shoulder to drop them, then running up and shooting them in the head for the kill. Still 2 rds minimum. Shot 15 dogs with 77gr OTM rds, MK262, and all were on shot one kill. None of the rounds exited the carcass. Velocity was not the difference, round construction was. I also shot one cat. That creature would not die. 3 shots including a head shot and it just looked at me and growled more. I finally walked away and let it bleed out. The KBR vector control guy did not like drowning them and asked me to shoot them instead. One attempt was enough for me. Thing was possessed. And before you PETA MFR's freak out, the dogs were feral, not your normal family pet and were attacking soldiers and civilian contractors. I was given the mission to deal with the issue and I dealt with it. |

Too bad you couldn't try out 55gr. As well just for comparison.

TANGOCHASER,
What was the shot placement on the dogs that ran off? |
|
Almost all the shots with the 62gr were chest/lung shots on the ones that got away or bled out. The shoulder shots were effective in dropping them but required a head shot to finish them. The 77gr shots were all chest area hits. My big surprise was no exit wounds with the 77gr.
Largest dog was around 150 lbs. Some kind of German Shepard cross breed. Most were in the 50-60lb range. |
|
I get pass throughs on 150lbs deer with 77 grain nosler CC if I dont hit a shoulder. It will exit after hitting 2 ribs inside 100 yards.
It seems anything smaller than a deer is to small to take advantage of a tumbling/fragmenting bullet past 50 yards. Inside 30-40 even m855 will work very well on yotes, foxes, minks, etc also, all my culling has been with a 20" rifle |

I really think it's all dependent on geographical location and personal circumstances. I don't know exactly the type of SHTF scenario we're discussing, but for me, I live 200 yards outside the city limits of a small town. Not too many natural disasters where I live in N. Carolina. I prepare mainly for a martial law/economic scenario. I honestly feel like an economic crisis is imminent in which case martial law could follow. There might be a few nut jobs that would use the situation to raise hell, but where I live, I feel like there are more good folks than bad and they would want to try to help out the needy in the community...Heck even the liberal hipsters doofuses would probably share a pint of closet brew with you before they'd even consider stealing from you.
That being said, I like to think that I would see the signs and bug out to my predetermined destination early on in the event before the minority of psychos realize how bad things are about to get (and make things worse) and ESPECIALLY before NG/UN/some other government entity arrives on the scene to confiscate everything. which is why I've opted for suppressed 10.2 inch blackout (see John Noveske Recoil issue 4 except, minus the stock ). 300 blackout out of a shorter barrel has impressive ballistics, it's also quiet with 220 grainers should I ever (highly doubt unless hunting) have to use it. I just wanted something that packs a punch yet small, compact and quiet that I can break down and throw in an unassuming backpack so as not to get it confiscated during my retreat to the boonies. |
