Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Stupid question
Posted: 2/6/2006 10:58:44 PM EDT
So what makes the 5.56x45mm round so deadly?

It's a really big 22 =-P

Seriously though.

it's not some super killer round but what makes it effective is high velocity and fragmentation.  Any round is deadly, it's shot placement that matters.

In before the " the 5.56 was desinged to wound, not to kill" crowd.
