5.45 and 5.56 do MUCH more damage than 7.62. Tumbling/fragmentation>mass any day. More surface area ripping through a soft target will do more damage.
You have it all backwards, the smaller 5.56 tends to cause less damage. Smaller diameter and high speed transfer less energy. They tend to pass right through people.
why was the 223 round going to be outlawed in war ive heard its becuause its instabilty while flying and that it tumbles after it is inside of the target. any one know why? i would really appreciate some help
The US military NATO 5.56mm(M855) won't be outlawed. The 5.56mm yaws, tumbles and fragments creating a huge wound channel leading to massive internal body injury even more than that of a 7.62mm which would likely go through the body not delivering maximum energy transfer.
@rbolo29 haha... Really? Out of a 14.5 inch carbine barrel the fragmentation range is very short and sometimes it only begins to yaw after it has penetrated the body.
The 77gr SMK bullets are superior for reliable yaw/fragmentation. Hopefully that becomes the standard round used by the military. Keep in mind the small bullets require speed above 2600fps to fragment. That doesnt really happen for long out of an M4 short barreled rifle.
@Chubba72 The FS2000 is the civilian version so it's semi-auto only. The military version F2000 has a semi-auto and full auto (850 RPM) trigger setting.
When it comes to control and recoil, that was actually pretty informative (big smile now glued to my face). I've been searching for vids on the F2000 like this, so thanks for the upload.
Your welcome. It's a real treat to shoot. There's virtually no recoil even though it weighs next to nothing. So far I have had no malfunctions or jams whatsoever; even using crappy old dented AR mags. Fouling was virtually non-existant - However, I was using Varget in handloads, which is a pretty clean powder.. so that may be biased somewhat.
PS - One other thought. The target acquisition on this weapon is MUCH faster than my various AR15's. The bullpup design helps there tremendously. This weapon has virtually no mass in front of your hands, which means there's no weight to try to swing around to get from one target to the next; I plan on using this next year in IDPA because it's so much faster, once I'm more practiced with it.
Wow, thanks on all that too. That answers a lot of questions I've kept seeing around. I remember trying to acquire targets a while back when firing an M4 and M16 at a range. I'm a good shot, but I won't deny it was hard to change from each target as quickly as I needed. That EASILY threw my aim off. That's a nice added note to remember for this beauty! Though with it being so light, I'm also surprised about the recoil.
FN must be farther ahead of the game than I thought.
It doesn't tire your arms out as much either. You can hold on target much longer, since there really is not much (if any) weight ahead of your front support hand. This makes the weapon feel lighter than other rifles, in turn, meaning you can hold on target longer without your arms getting tired and shaky in the standing position. Coupled with the out of the box accuracy and the lightweight design, the ergonomics top it all off for a really potent combination.

As fast as you can pull the trigger-it's a semi-automatic.
