I was told many years ago by someone that the object was to wound and incopacitate the enemy. Not to kill. So someone would have to tend to the wounded. Not sure if I agree so much with that or if that was the reason for the military using FMJ's and 5.56. I prefer the 7.62 nato. I have never fired a shot in combat and almost always qualify expert(39 or 40 out of 40)Standard army pop up's. Weopon malfunction is to blame for all non expert scores. But the targets at the range dont shoot back. And a well placed shot would be more difficult in combat Im sure. I want all the advantage I can get.The AR 10 seems to be a good platform, At least I like mine.
