I think you have totally missed the point. We were just trying to say
the 7.62x51 was more capable at long range than the 5.56,

You are the one who tried to make this a conversation about why most
of the soldiers are still issued AR variants. I doubt more than 30 or
40% ever actually shoot at anyone anyway.


I neither missed the point nor argued that one rifle is "more capable"
than the other, although I did argue that the AR was more capable than
the AK because it was more accurate.
