It's a mathematical principle that larger objects have greater sectional density. For this reason, 5.56 mm caliber bullets rapidly lose the velocity they desperately need to compensate for their lack of size. Civilians would be wise to choose calibers big enough to be effective at range, but not so big that recoil is unbearable. A 6.5 mm rifle firing a heavy for caliber bullet seems about ideal.

What are you asking, exactly?
From what I can tell, all you did was create a thread for no reason.

I'm arguing that 5.56 mm is not a viable rifle caliber.

You make this thread every day.

Just because 6.5 is better doesn't mean 5.56 is shit.

Everyone who argues this should receive a controlled pair to their center mass

Basically this. It has been adequate for almost every theater we have been in with the exception of Afghanistan and even there it is great in villages, night raids, and in close base defense. Would a battle rifle for that region be better hell yes. Would it be worth the cost when we have air, artillery, and various vehicle based weapons. ....... well we decided no over a decade ago so too late to fund it now. So for whatever 6-7 mm round you are shilling for yes could work better but you have to unfuck bureaucratic inertia, fet the military industrial complex on board, convince NATO (britts will be salty on their .260 or .270 forget which) and retrain a fuckton of soldiers on a weapon system (yes can be mitigated if ar template) for a bullet that is only obviously superior for controlling poppy fields.
