To follow up on what Sir said and connect the dots, the .223 (5.56 mm NATO) round is the round used by the M-16 and the Colt AR15, as far as I understand it. Though it may well be considered a varmit-hunter among civilians, it sees a lot of battlefield usage among NATO arms, including (and I feel sure I'll get corrected if I'm wrong): the FN-FAL and the very reliable Steyr-AUG, both bullpulp designs.
Have all the shootings been distance shootings? I mean - they've been very accurate for the most part, but haven't some of the shootings been from closer range? Sorry for my ignorance of the facts on this one, folks.
