Re: Ammo availability
One thing you must remember when reading "horror stories" about the 5.56 and 9x19 is that the troops using these weapons are forced to use issued ammo.
Sure, 9mm FMJ and 5.56 FMJ might not be the best for stopping an enemy, but you don't have to use this ammo.
IMHO there are MANY 9x19 HP's on the market that would make the M9 a much more effective weapon.
And it's not hard to find a wide range of 5.56 rounds ,including Hornady TAP ammo, that out-performs standard FMJ's.
The 556 and 9x19 rounds are easy to find and cheap compared to others...and when loaded right, they are deadly on man size targets.
