if your hiding 6 feet behind drywall, a 5.56 round will just fuckoff on you, 7.62 will retain a straighter path when going through cover
im just saying 7.62 is a superior round for accuracy and range, 5.56 is more of a rifleman iron sight round due to its lower weight and the fact that most engagement happen under 250 yards

The 5.56 is prefered by LE just for that. I'm not going to debate which round is superior, cause it's like debating over which cake is better: Chocolate, or Vanilla-icing ice cream-packed sex shop cake. 5.6ers have their good points, and 7.6ers have theirs aswell... it just boils down to what/where/how you're engaging targets.
Sorry for the threadjack...
