This video walks through the biggest 5.56 debates in the gun world and checks each argument against military records, ballistic gel testing, and what the men who carried the rifle reported.
Most of these fights run forever because the two sides are answering different questions. The military averages millions of rounds into a report and sees a round that works, while a soldier only sees maybe a dozen men shot in his entire life and remembers the ones who kept coming. This video takes the arguments one at a time, explains the mechanism behind each claim, and shows where each side is right and where it falls apart.
