Message: <blockquote data-quote="Bed Wetter" data-source="post: 247428" data-attributes="member: 428"><p>223 rifles were adopted for battlefield combat. Smaller bullets = more bullets per lb. A soldier is often stuck with what he can carry. Smaller bullets = more bullets. It doesn’t matter how big your bullets are if you don’t have any. That’s why I carry a 9mm and not a .45 ACP</p><p></p><p>223 is enough to disable an adversary on the battlefield. Not great for distance or barrier penetration but infantryman operate in squads. Squads also have a machine gunner and often a designated marksman, each of which use different rifles than the standard infantrymen.</p><p></p><p>In principle, I agree with you. If I had to huff it alone, I might be more inclined to pick up a .308 AR. But consider this: 270 rounds of 223 (that’s 9x 30rd mags) weighs less than 10 lbs. What do you suppose 34 clips (272 rds) of 30-06 weighs?</p></blockquote><p></p>
