My 30-06 is my best and most versatile round for hunting game; complimented with a .35 REM for a brush gun. However, if we are talking about an "urban" rifle, I think the weeknesses of the 5.56 are also some of its strengths.
The 5.56 does not have the sheer penetrating power of the .308, or even the 7.62 x 39. But in an urban environment, for defensive purposes, that means a lesser likelyhood of a round penetrating through a primary target and seriously injuring another. Also seems less likely that a round (heaven forbid a stray round) will penetrate walls of neighboring structures ending in the unintentional injury of others.
