Lets be realistic here. The 7.62x39mm is a larger bullet and carries more energy. Why cant you guys clearly see its preferable to the 5.56 due to this fact??

Um, because it isn't?  It doesn't fragment, so is less lethal than 5.56, and has an inferior trajectory.  What's to like?

5.56
7.62x39mm

The 7.62 clearly has more energy.

Due to the smaller size, its looks cuter. You dont want to scare your adversarys away before you have a chance to shoot them, so they adopted a smaller round in order to make their enemies feel more comfortbale.

IIRC Energy equals mass times velocity squared.  

You are clearly not understanding the velocity squared part.

7.62X39 may have more energy at muzzle, but it loses it quickly.
I would compare it to the 30 30 round.
Plus it lacks a platform that delivers it with the same accuracy as the 5.56.
At 400 meters I can still have high confidence in hitting my target with the 5.56, at that distance it's a gamble with the AK round.

Shoot yourself in both feet one with 5.56 and one with the 7.62 and get back to us with a damage report.

The AK round is underpowered for a .30 cal projectile. It has a horrible trajectory past 200 meters, doesn't fragment well, as well as a few other reasons that I think I'll let Brouhaha take care of.

More energy doesn't always equal a superior round.

No, I actually prefer the AR's.
I just dont want a hole eaten into my stomach from the ulcer I was getting by watching the news. I knew if anything would get the Arfcommers to action on something BESIDES the election it was this topic.

I'm no physics guru, but the energy carried in such a round is about equivalent to a bag of potatos falling off a shelf and hitting you (read this somewhere)

Granted you would probably get the snot knocked out of you, but you'll live.  Fragmentation is the real killer.
