I had heard the reason we switched to the .223/5.56 in Vietnam was so that we wouldn't kill many enemy combatants. If we wounded them, then it would take 1-2 others to carry him out.



This is the other half of the mythology of the m16. One half says its virtually a WMD, the other says it can't kill shite.

Half of the ones saying it can't kill shite tend to shoot them regularly. The other half think "full semi automatic" is fool proof.
