Interesting...

I done some searching and found something interesting about the current 5.56mm rounds versus the AK-47 7.62mm rounds. It seems that many people seems to think that the XM8 should be chambered with either 6.8mm or 7.62mm rounds to be an effective killer, so to speak.

Personally, I know next to nothing about guns and ammos except that in the game(s), I would go for guns with bigger rounds because of the effectiveness in killing off targets. Since I have no experice in such things, maybe there was a reason for the lighter rounds because of the advantages of having less recoil or weight.

Anyway, here is the link that I was talking about (debating on 5.56mm's effectiveness against the 7.62mm).
