[quote name="MOAB"]The FBI recently released the results of a study on the penetration/lethality of 5.56 (.223) ammunition, unfortunately it is (the study) law enforcement only. The gist though is that 5.56 is a poor penetrator of drywall and car doors, but when used correctly (in a rifle with an 18" or better barrel, not a sexy but useless SMG form factor) and at correct velocities, it becomes immediately and horrifically frangible in soft tissue. Meaning the round disintegrates when it hits anything besides people. This has nothing to do with launching 2mm flechettes at 7800FPS through a SpaceGun but hell, there is nothing going on here but a funeral or some shit anyway.[/quote]
