.223 rem vs 45 auto

[Peter W Bush]

i hope there is no doubt in anybodies mind that a .223 will do more damage in ANY range than a .45ACP

Apple vs. oranges. One is primarily used in handguns, the other in rifles. You need to evaluate when and where you'll use your particular firearm. All things being equal, the .223 is more likely to stop a fight quicker. IF I had the choice, I'd use the .223 (and rifle) every time, however, outside of the home, you're much more likely to have a pistol if CCW is an option for you.

It's rather silly to be comparing the two when they clearly are meant to serve very different purposes.

All I have to say is remember LA, two guys with 223's held off several leos with there pistols.
My toughts would be a 223 rifle would able to hit its mark 10 times, and the 45 would miss 10 times, but that depends on the person and their skills, even then knowing someone is trying to kill you makes you shake ALOT, in my personal opinion, 5 yds 25 yds or 100 yds, 223.

Just shoot him with this, incinerate him and call it a day.

LMFAO! Please more pics! Is there a gun under all that?
It's a bit hard to tell what all is there, but could maybe qualify for that electromagnetic beam weapon DARPA's been working on. DON'T CROSS THE BEAMS!

Go to a fireams training academy
Gunsite
Front Sight
Thunder Ranch
I don't care which because every last one will say If you know you're going to be in a gunfight...
BRING A RIFLE!

A handgun is a defensive weapon as in "Holy crap! I'm about to be attacked!"
It's what you have to use because you don't have a rifle with you.

Usually, when there is a gun fight between rifles and handguns, rifles win. I have seen it a few times at crime scenes.

Definitely 7.62 Nato. A miss in close proximity will still rip the face off the opponent.

^^^^Iv actually seen that happen. And I hear that a .50BMG going by a person will actually castrate them

Check out .50BMG sniper videos.. Every time a human target gets show with one, their body seems to just twist around and break like a twig. I saw one where a guy gets shot in the shoulder and his arm goes flying off.

I Love my M&P, but If its between it and my life, Ill take my rifle.

well id want to go somewhere in between in the 6.8 6.5 realm or ideally a cartridge that wasn't constrained to fitting in an m4/m16. there is no question the 7.62 is the more powerful/deadly round. however i do see the merit of the less weight more rounds argument. 7.62 can be considered overkill for some applications while 5.56 could be considered inadequate for the same task.

[eccvets]

some what like the 5.7 vs what ever other handgun round argument.
