Sturmgewehr-58,

That is why I qualified the post with "for what it's worth".

However, how many stories have you heard about the 5.56 and dismal failures to stop with multiple rounds COM? I don't think it is too far of a stretch to believe that in CQ(pistol range) that a .45ACP with hollow points would be a better stopper than 5.56 ball. However, I am not a ballistics expert and don't know for sure. Obviously a rifle is a better battle weapon for many reasons: Range, easier to hit with, more rounds in the mag, rate of fire...but, what about a sub gun in .45ACP for QCB?
