You'll hear the old farts claim that a lot but is it really true?
Sure, 7.62x51mm is more powerful than 5.56x45mm, and yeah, it can probably penetrate more stuff, but are there really all that many real world objects that can stop a 5.56mm but not a 7.62mm? I'm thinking there are a lot more objects that can either stop both or stop neither.
I plan to do a series of tests to determine whether there are any real world objects that can stop one but not the other. This one is a concrete block.
Don't cheat. Make your prediction BEFORE you watch the video.
