Afghan Bullets

Not .22 rounds like you're thinking, but the 5.45x39mm cartridge used in AK-74s is, in fact, 22 caliber.
....and no, the 7.62x39 doesn't rip people apart, either figuratively or literally. The 5.45 actually has greater wounding capability. The Afghans referred to it as the 'poison bullet' when it hit the scene during their war with Russia.

In what fantasy world does 7.62X39 rip people apart, shatter kevlar or kill people instantly? There are 1000s of veterans just in the last 15 years that are alive having survived being shot with AK47s. The 7.62x39 is a lethal round when it finds its mark center mass, but like many rounds its entirely survivable.

You are taking a dump and they call GQ do you pinch it off or finish your business?

Yeah like others said the 7.62x39 M43 is pretty infamous for its lacking terminal ballistics. Even the upgraded M67 does not have very impressive wounding capacity.

That and probably most of their weaponry is probably bought 'somewhere in the Northwest Frontier' region of Pakistan-who knows how old the rifles are or the condition of the barrels' rifling or the 'workmanship' of the rifle ammunition?

Other than that I found the OP's post to be somewhat incoherent.




Why can't you wretched prey creatures understand that the Universe doesn't owe you anything!?

The ideology behind both NATO and Warsaw Pact going from 7.62x51mm and 7.62x39mm respectively to 5.56x45mm and 5.45x39mm respectively is not merely to maim. That particular idea of maiming while popular is misleading and not a complete picture of the issue.

There were several caveats behind both the NATO and Warsaw Pact programs:

1. Marksmanship. The average end user of a .30 caliber rifle has a steep learning curve when it comes to marksmanship. .223 and .220 caliber rifles are easier to teach marksmanship and to incur follow on proficiency with.

2. Load-bearing. End users can carry far more .223/.220 than .30 caliber rounds.

3. Lethality. .223/.220 rounds, not simply by caliber but by design specifics, create far greater wound channel through yaw, than do .30 caliber round. While stopping power, especially at range is controversial with .223/.220, what is not questionable is the matched or even greater lethality of .223/.220 over .30 caliber in regards to hits center mass. A hit center mass from a .223/220 round from a common/mean short engagement range will cause wound channel that increase lethality through yaw, where a .30 caliber round will go straight through with no yaw at all.
