no varmint calibers, especially when varmints are shooting back.
hasnt the .223 proven itself in the last 40+ years as an efficient man killer?
Yes...yes it has. Unless of course you are dealing with distances like those you would encountered in the mountains or river basins of Afghanistan. Remember, we are talking about situations that would be encountered here in the States...not overseas in a hostile environment operating in a S&D mode of operation.

And no, after 40+ years, there is still more than adequate evidence to call the fight stopping power of the 5.56 in to question. We don't argue it on this very forum twice a week because nothing exists to the contrary.
If that is the case, than going into "combat" (...whatever that might be in a domestic environment) with anything less than a M2 50cal is folly.
