The reason I sold my PTR-91 was that it was out out of spec, the rail on top was crooked. And it didn't balance well for offhand shooting.

It also concludes the combat experience from the field using 5.56mm is accurate. There is NO COMMERCIAL AMMO that changes the outcome and anyone shooting a 5.56mm in combat at CQB ranges will experience the same results.....no wonder bullet exist's.
Could he have done that with a 5.56mm SBR? Sure but the skill level required is higher and the chances of screwing up are higher.
OMG...are you seriously saying a shotgun is easier to use for a hostage rescue shot then a rifle??

Who said anything about a shotgun for hostage rescue?
Headstamps from US makers with a single 4 were made in 1944. Wartime expediency. Good 43 headstamp bunters were altered by grinding off the 3.
It saved time, money, and precious tool steel.
So, many of us feel that the decision to adopt the 5.56 was driven by cost considerations (acquisition, ammo, resupply, and training) at the expense of combat effectiveness. Your opinion many varry.

Jesus wept... are you SERIOUS?
I found the 30 cal AP bullets in bulk--I think it was 500 a bag and inside a cardboard box. I assume it was military surplus--there was a bit "grey zone" ambiguity as to whether it was legal or not
