    Although I have had foreign "gentleman" point loaded AK's at me in the past, that happily had more to do with separating me from my money than using me a target practice.

    As a personal perspective, I am very pleased to be able to say I have never been shot at. My firearms experience is limited purely as a collector, student of and shooter of Milsurps, however if I found myself in a situation (god forbid) like the great sandbox and under fire, I would personally much rather trust my life to 7.62x51mm than 5.56mm. For that matter, I would probably be just as happy with .303 or .30-06!

    They all work OK within their parameters...shot placement is everything. Cover from fire is hard to get through with one single round from anything. A number of rounds on the other hand...if you have them... Yes, bigger is better.
