What is pithitic is gunkid still 'thinks' his 5.56 velocity is from a 20 inch barrel and he ignores the fact he favors the 11 inch CAR pos (the loser of loser guns.)
In Vietnam they complained the CAR wouldn't stop VC even at 20 yards. SF started using AKs as a result. The CAR looks cool but it's looks don't match it's performance.
If you want a 5.56, I strongly suggest the 20 inch AR or M-16A2. Even the 16 inchers start taking the weapon into the short range category. That is why they keep trying and trying to make special ammo for the 5.56 so as the at least APPROXIMATE the 7.62x51 in ability.
