[QUOTE="Red-Team-98, post: 5553457, member: 23466"] The round m855 was designed to penetrate soviet body armor at a certain range. We discovered and I in Iraq most didn’t have body armor just garb so multiple shots were sometimes required very much one small hole in and one small hole out. In Vietnam they had the M193 round 55gr that would tumble and was least lethal in vietnam. The enemy would get hit in one section of the body and the bullet would tumble or yaw thru out the body following muscles paths and erratic bullet paths in body Dum Dum round. Today they have the M855A1 load which is designed for both penetration and expansion for more lethality. The round in Iraq we all welcome was the MK 262 which was the Nosler and Sierra MK 77gr this made the 5.56 one killing machine one shot stops on man targets. This ammo was hard to get and was scarce. With the right ammo the 5.56 is very lethal …..I know first hand. Suggest Barnes VorTx ammo 5.56 in 62gr or 70gr TSX for hunting [/QUOTE]
