Making a case for the effectiveness of 5.56

I have seen quite a bit of 5.56 bashing in some of these
threads, with all due respect to those people I am not in agreement. The 5.56 at closer ranges (say out to at least 3-400 yards) has proven to be effective. My main beef with 5.56 is against barriers and when reaching out past 3-400 yards.
I dont really care for caliber debates , every firearm and round has its place. I have talked with a few of the bigger name instructors and more often then not they speak pretty positively of the 5.56, even if its not their preference. I will add more articles, videos, etc at a later date.

Just a couple neat article on military 5.56:

(Quote from article: The fact is that there are no official documents that the 5.56mm NATO caliber has failed in any NATO Army. On the contrary, we have official documents stating that there is no problem with the lethality of the 5.56mm caliber at all. Most NATO nations even agree that the next generation of small arms weapons by 2020 will still be using the 5.56mm NATO caliber. )

An article from a doctor and former Australian Special Forces member . He breaks down some basic physics and gives more then a "because ive been there" explanation on why he feels the 5.56 is effective. Of course everyone is entitled to their opinions and alot of people have different experiences but this guy does speak from both a combat background and a medical background.

This thread is not meant to argue "whats the best" round for any use, its meant to show the merits of the 5.56 and show noobs the other side of the coin from the "bigger is always better" crowd.
