anon, be sure to check out the south africa thread on k/k

also, i think that only men in a stick operating in the bush should use the 7.62NATO and 7.62Soviet (and maybe 7.62{Imperial}Russian) and those operating in urban areas and in wide-open field, should elect to use a 5.56NATO instead of the 7.62Soviet caliber. What do you think?

awesome pics by the way man

5.56x45 is an abomination of a round; I agree that full-power cartridge is a good idea in the open areas, for CQB it's a much better idea to switch to 9mm for better handling and recoil control.

but 5.56NATO can be used to devastating effect if paired in groups of 8-10 in an open area, plus you can fit way more of them and fire more rounds per second than 7.62NATO. My point was simply that in the bush a different round for fireteams should be used than those operating in wide-open field. I don't agree with you on the idea that 9mm will have less recoil especially considering that a rifle will be easier to should and maneouver than a pistol
