On the stopping power of these two rounds, some people seem to think that the 5.56 is better because it fragments and tears you up inside, while others say that the 7.62 is better because it is heavier, slower, and bigger, and hits harder. So, my question for your consideration is: Which is the better thing: To tear the adversary up, or hit him hard? (Yes, that is oversimplification, and this thread will probably not last 4 pages before it becomes an all-out mudfest).
