Just for the record, I did not say that EVERY serviceman today is a shitty shooter.  We have plenty of skilled marksmen and DMs.  However, among the NON-DMs, the average shooting ability is much lower than it was in the last generation.   This is due to changes in the population (Fewer hunters, more urbanization, anti-gun politics and policies).

So you are saying the reason the US Military went from the 7.62 to the 5.56 was due to less shooting experience by recruits?c

nope, i am not saying the reason the US Military went from the 7.62 to the 5.56 was due to less shooting experience by recuits.

it wasn't meant to be a political comment, i should have said "anti-gun laws and policies"..  For instance, the "Safe Schools Act" which prohibited firearms within 500 (?) feet of a school (this provision was struck down by the USSC as being overbroad under the Commerce Clause)

I really can't comment on the USSC decision...

because I can't do it without getting political...for the sake of argument, the US legal code shall be considered political in this forum...

and neither can you. ;)

No.

You're getting dramatic.

Comment all you want.

The discussion that follows will become political and you know it...it's inevitable.

The political situation in Zimbabwe sucks and they use 7.62 [thumbsup]
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

When compaired to the 7.62x39, the 5.56 was supposed to have better stopping power and greater capacity, with eugene stoner's origional intent.

I had read a few articles about the origional design of the 5.56. It was to be used in a slow twist bbl, that left the bullet on the edge of stabiliztion causing it to tumble violently on impact. but the military change the twist to get better accuracy, which reduced the tumbling and stopping power.
I remember reading an article about how they also change to a inferior powder, that cause the jamming issues early on..

Of course. Telling me getting f*cked doesn't come to mind when you think of that combination?
