.......The 223 cartridge in a semi-auto short rifle is the perfect weapon to kill masses of humans. The main reason is that because of the LOW RECOIL the 223 cartridge can be used efficiently by criminals and crazy people that need NOT go to a range and practice shooting accuracy. It is SIMPLY easy to SHOOT. If a deranged person wants to shoot/kill about 4 people, they can accomplish that with a handgun. But, for the more ambitious crazies, they need a semi-auto short barrel 223 to attempt to kill between 5 to 10.
........The 223 in a AR-15 short rifle style has become the most popular man-killing weapon in the US. People are NOT buying them to HUNT groundhogs and foxes. HINT.......you might think that a SMART government would be able to take the popular MAN-KILLERS off of the MARKET. But, I guess that little gem of knowledge is beyond the good old USA.

Wrong again...
The .223/5.56 cartridge was chosen due to it's light weight (you could carry more) and that they tend to WOUND, not KILL. Hence, it would take more people out of the fight. Those wounded and those tending to the wounded...
Many of the troops complain that it is not deadly enough of a round...
