Combat footage, post it here.

"Fuck it, I'm getting the Barrett." PMC contractors get shot at from long distance, return fire with anti-material rifle.

"Shoot my tank one more time..."

this is why i say .223 is a shit round.  .223 vs 7.62x54 is precisely why

Aren't a few millitaries looking back at adopting the 7.62 as standard over 5.56? I saw an article saying the SAS were looking into adopting a SCAR or HK417.

I'm obviously not an opr8r but why is 5.56 that bad? I know the penetration is dicks, but surely if you hit someone 2-3/4 times in the vitals, they're going down.

I saw an FBI slideshow a while back on how shit the penetration is when some kid went on a shooting spree and was hit several times with 5.56 and I think LEO 9mm rounds, but because they were shooting at him when he was in his car and he was wearing a jacket, the windscreen absorbed so much ballistic energy  it and basically just grazed him.

the HK417 is overpriced for its abilities.  it may have the best reliability and accuracy but not in comparison the the next best, based on price point. the scar is good...and now better that it worked thru its teething problems.  the fucking mags are waaay overpriced.

.223 is ballistically nothing more than a varmint round.  the caliber is such a failure at human-sized targets they had to redesign the bullet to be less shitty vs personnel.  the caliber is still prohibited in several states for use against deer-sized game due to its dismal terminal ballistics abilities...that says a whole lot about it right there.  theres too much detail to get into in such a small space but .223 should never have been adopted as a primary combat round.  as a PDW it has its positive points, but nothing beyond 50 yards or so vs anything larger than a gerbil.

the smallest combat-caliber round should be the 7.62x51 for a standard issue shoulder-fired rifle....and the 7.62x63 for squad support weps.

So two questions with that first video there.

1. Why are they engaging them at such an incredibly long distance with AR's?

2. Why did the PMC just start walking out of the truck when he could have been shot at any time?

1. The dude is a fucking noob amateur. The equivalent of hazza. That was far beyond the effective range of even enhanced. 223

2. The dude is a fucking noob amateur.  The equivalent of hazza. Also...at that range the 7.62x54 would have horrible accuracy (based on the shooting skills of those hajis) and any hits would be pure luck
