Future weapons and 5.56mm

[1lostinspace]

Those videos are for 180gr Hollow Point .308 Barnes Triple Shock-X bullets, designed for hunting large game. They are traveling at speeds battle rifles cannot attain, and they mention nothing about temporary cavity. They actually prove my point that the only damage you can count on is the damage done by the bullet itself.

Also, I'm not talking at all about doing long term damage to the target. I'm talking about incapacitation as quickly as possible. There is no question that getting shot at all is life threatening and long term damage will in all likelyhood come from taking any rifle round to the chest.

My point is the 5.56 round is not effective at stopping bad guys quickly. Sure it works okay, but personally I would rather use something more effective.

This is an excellent website you can learn from. http://www.firearmstactical.com/

Lol you must not reload

lol sounds like you really need to do some research 308. Nato is doing over 2800 fps.
Further more you are contradicting your self saying that .308 kills with the permanent cavity that is much less then 5.56mm but that you don't like 5.56mm then you say that the temporary cavity is nothing to worry about lol man where are you getting this stuff from?
