@shoktroop That's strange, I hear the 5.56 splits apart or travels through the body.
Maybe the bad guys were shot with fmj not hp or sp... Civilians have a different bullet selection than soldiers.
If a 5.56 goes through a bad guy then a .30 will too!

@shoktroop Think about it like this: Assault Rifle = 2 .223 shots for every 1 .308 shot. A marksman rifle or sniper rifle benefits more from .30 caliber imo. I didn't like 5.56 at first until I understood it. Do you really shoot the bad guy once then build a campfire with an assault rifle? nooooo...

@US36477 I would never use a 5.56mm weapon period. That round is for shooting prairie dogs. It would pin hole and over penetrate a human in a CQB enviroment. In home defense and dependant on the exact situation I would either use my 1911 .45ACP with 230 grn HydraShoks or my Remington 870 with # 4 buckshot. A .22LR bullet like the CCI Velociter or Stinger is as lethal as any 5.56mm weapon within the home defense envelope. I have seen Iraqis shot many, many times with 5.56mm weapons to no effect.
nice rifle!!! what is your longest shot made from? is that set up a lot of money, or will any Ruger 10/22 fit into the stock?

@acousticman26 Longest one shot one kill shot with this rifle was around 280 yards on a large rabbit. The weather was perfect. near zero wind, Rabbit broad side facing me, Took it down with a CCI Velociter. I have made further kills with the rifle but I had to use several follow up shots due to improper shot placement. We can't bowl a perfect score every time. :/

Hello Sir - Being a Marine (read: expert rifleman) would you use this over an AR/M4 type 5.56mm weapon for self defense in a home environment. I saw one Marine recommend it since "no recoil" enables you to stay on target and it's relatively quiet (and he preferred a .22LR round accurately placed over any handgun rounds). Your thoughts (and thank you for your service!)...

@US36477 Part II of answer. The United States needs to get rid of that 5.56mm round. We need a heavier and a bit slower round. We actually need to shove the 6.8mm round down Nato's throat. Since the United States foots the bill for most of Nato's funding anyway. The 6.8mm is the logical choice for a modern combat bullet that will actually put down an enemy instead of over penetrating and pinholing the enemy. Those who buy a 5.56mm AR rifle for home defense are not in touch with reality.

@shoktroop how far away were the iraqis when getting hit with the 5.56? ive heard nam vets talk about how they use to turn the gooks rib cages into shrapnel when they hit them within 50 yards, the 6.8 will be my next AR build, love your 10/22, i just bought 10/22 ATI tactical because i needed a nice affordable .22 that wasnt an AR rip off,

@jmoney31705 Anywhere from 25 feet up to 400 meters. The bullet we used in Nam had a VERY early yaw rate. Thats why you heard the rumor or stories of a guy getting shot in the chest and the bullet exited his low back. Yaw is the bullet tumbling in air. ANY bullet will and does smash the rib cage and or most bones. BUT getting a good body shot while on the move is VERY challenging. They are not standing still when you shoot em. Damnit.. lol "Hold still so I can shoot ya' lil bastard" lol.
