| In regards to the M4's stopping power issue you discussed, I'd like to add that the M4(3,049ft/s) has close to equal muzzle velocity to the M16A2(3280ft/s) which has little effect on killing power at a distance. Also referring to your comment on determined enemies taking bullets repeatedly I'd like to say that when a man is shot by anything larger than a .22LR bullet, it is apt to take the spirit of the bayonet right out of him. The same issue was raised about the .30 caliber carbine in WWII because it was a smaller round. The .30 carbine has sent many of America's enemies from WWII to Vietnam to Valhalla via one round to the chest cavity. The whole stopping power issue is one best left to REMF's and armchair generals. The one thing I do agree with though, is the handgun issue. I'd much rather carry an M1911A1 into combat rather than any 9mm. I carry a customized Springfield Armory 1911 and have never had a problem with it. Give me an M4A1 with a Trijicon sight and an M203 over an M14 or any Kalashnikov rifle. Semper Fi! |
