5.56 will not penetrate body armorLooks like some military may be going back to the 7.62 NATO rounds.

Re: 5.56 will not penetrate body armor1000 years ago when I was in the army, our officers always teach us to shoot twice, no more. If you hit relatively well at least once with the old AK47, there is no need to fire again.

Re: 5.56 will not penetrate body armorThe enemy doesn't wear armor over their face... just sayin'. T Zone FTW.

Re: 5.56 will not penetrate body armor
in the CCW/personal defense world where you might be dealing with a prepared shooter who is wearing armor, the new catch phrase is COF. Center of Face. Think of a 4x10" target as your new practice size.
Re: 5.56 will not penetrate body armor
I'm glad they are teaching that. Even if a bad guy isn't wearing armor, its most likely instant off. In life or death, you want to stop the threat as fast as possible. ![]() ![]()
Re: 5.56 will not penetrate body armorThese days, yes. As I said, 1000 years ago, in the communist army, that was the standard. Body hit, twice. I don't think I have ever heard of head shots (except for the PSL guy).

Re: 5.56 will not penetrate body armor
We cant all be dead eye shots with a pistol at a 100yds. ![]() Seriously though, I think the 5.56 has proven itself in MOST situations for the military for quite a while now. I agree that certain SO units could very well be benefited by a heavier hitting round. As a CC'er I will still practice COM as that's the most practical aim point for any of us in the unlikely event we have to use our sidearm. Extremely unlikely that the average SD shooting is going to involve body armor. Now if you're talking Red Dawn then I'm going to wherever Mark is to back him up... ![]() ![]()

LOL! Heck, yea! We will make Freedom happen! ![]() ![]()
Re: 5.56 will not penetrate body armorThey sure about that? I've seen SS109's do some nasty shiznit to ceramic plates... Hell, up close? It'll make a plate steel dent... and I think you'd feel that.

Re: 5.56 will not penetrate body armor193's are the real interesting ones on steel plates. Speed is one of the things that helps defeat steel. A 193, 20" bbl and short range make for a bad day for most things steel
Re: 5.56 will not penetrate body armorSteel plates? Then use this one:

Well, that's a good argument. I have to start to train like this, half of this country is already zombie. All political power comes from the barrel of a gun. The communist party must command all the guns, that way, no guns can ever be used to command the party - Mao Tse Tung
Re: 5.56 will not penetrate body armorHow about Barrett M82 with AP rounds. I'm sure a random steel plate can't stop .50 BMG.
