Statement A:

"They (5.56mm and 5.45mm) also tend to be very ineffective when shooting through foilage or soft cover."


Statement B:

"Ex: A 5.56 (or 5.45 I suppose), when working as it's designed (well, technically, NOT working properly.. wink wink), is only tumbling in the same way that a glass jar is still "tumbling" when you throw it at the ground and it shatters. "




Correct or incorrect?

I apologize, I took statement B out of context.  That statement was explaining what "tumbling" really means after the 5.56x45mm (or 5.45x39mm) round enters a body. (?)

Source of the above statements

Edit:  I believe those statements were found on Pg. 27 of that thread.

I've always been told that the 1/7 twist spins 5.56 rounds so fast, they widen into 7.62 rounds, which is why we don't go back to a bigger caliber, and why you should use a 1/7 twist in your AR15's.

Does that mean if they make a higher twist (1x5) it'll turn into a .50 caliber bullet?

You are all a bunch of mislead ferrys.  The 5.56 does not have the power to break the skin.  No one has ever been injured with the 5.56.  The mil only uses it to pass the Geneva convention STD test which all mil people need to pass to be able to shoot.  My sons airsoft is a better round since it can shoot different colored balls.

I hate myself today...where's by beer.
