Energy equals one half mass times velocity squared;

Recite that equation 5 times before you go to bed at night.

What you want is a small bullet going very fucking fast. The 5.56 round does that, and does it well.

It wasn't designed to kill coyotes and gophers, it was designed to get the most energy on target using the laws of physics and the rule of "Spray and Pray" warfare:

Give your troops lots of lightweight bullets, and praise them mightily when they pull the trigger!

Having carried enough 5.56 and 7.62 rounds to qualify as a SME (subject matter expert) I can say that I prefer the 5.56... Of course you sniper benchrest guys will tear me apart on that one.

Yes, we outfit our good shots with some gucci kit.

I think that the carbine does its job extremely well, and the new age of combat (urban warfare) lends itself to choose the carbine as a better overall weapon.

When the time comes, I don't give a fuck, just make sure I am not walking into the situation with just my dick in my hand.
