Ain't sayin its a bad gun sayin its underpowered. And it is. Period. Yes in the right hands it is deadly. But it requires MORE percission than a 308 (or even a 7.62x39) in order to get the job done. I don't want to take a shot from a 22lr at 300 yards much less a 223. But a 223 is underpowered. I have read plenty of reports from iraq and afganastan in which the tango was shot six, eight, ten, or more times before he went down. It is ALWAYS related to the 223 or the 9mm. With a 308, or 30-06 you are talking about a layered cloth/body armour penetrating round that does the damage and keeps on trucking.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
