Default Re: Quick question for small arms buffs

Real combat with the exceptions noted, takes place at 300 meters or closer. Also, consider that in such combat the typical footie is scared almost kakloos, that there isn't time to take good aim, IME firefights are very short, and the enemy is under cover. It's better to point and spray, and you might hit something. If you take a long time to aim, you certainly won't.

5.56mm ammo is lighter than 7.62, and soldiers can carry more of it. That's important to the PBI who has to lug it. An R-4 weighs less than an R-1 and that's important too.
