Old wives' tale.

It's true the 7.62x39 has better barrier penetration but the 5.56x45 has FAR better terminal performance.

I go by what I was told in the army. Maybe right maybe wrong.

The reason the 223 is used along with FMJ rounds is to wound and not kill. The concept is it would cause the enemy to slow down and it would take someone out of battle to help the wounded. If they was dead there would be no need to help. I think the 223 is to small of a round to kill with less than a perfect shot. I don't know about anyone else here,but when I point a gun at something my intent is to kill. I really don't think a 223 can penetrate a flak jacket or a bodt armor of todays. I would suggest useing the 223 for headshots or up to the 308 version in the AR. for body shots.

Andrew, conservation of energy my friend. The force of impact imparted will be about or less than the kick of the rifle. Most people falling back are just from suprise or reaction to a hit, otherwise most people just drop like a sack of potatoes.

Even though I don't have the same love of mil-spec rifles that some of you do, I still exercised my 2nd Amendment rights this week. I purchased a Para Ordnance 1911.

I just wanted something bigger to go with my trusty G19.
