@Polak
Sorry, no experience with them at all, worked with some British, Australian and some Georgian troops, thats it though.

@Yahoshua
The 5.56 did a great job, we ended up getting some 77 grain hollow points from MatchKing that performed the best. Even at 300-400 meters they will put someone down hard if you hit them solid. In urban situations they wouldn't go through walls like the 7.62 would do but even so they were more than enough to suppress a target so someone else could maneuver to get the shot. In my opinion the only time 5.56 won't do the job is a shot in a non-vital area (hand, arm, etc.) It will still make them combat ineffective though.
