I have always considered the 5.54 more a varmint caliber. Great for fox and coyote but not much bigger. I understand the reasoning to a point for the military. Lighter round a soldier can carry more. But it always seemed self-defeating, taking more rounds to disable a target. Same as the replacing the 45ACP with the 9mm. From what I have read, practically any hit with a 45 knocks the person off their feet, unless pumped with drugs. The 9mm simply does not have that stopping effect. A 45 can disable an opponent without killing them. The same cannot be said for the 9mm. With them you need to kill the opponent to stop them. I thank God regularly, I never had to do either. And I never do.

It's in the hands of the Washington D.C. beltway politician's club. That's really encouraging.
