Re: 5.56 vs. 7.62x39
By the same token USA is trying to replace the 5.56 due to its question of stopping power with a lot of units preferring the 7.62NATO even though ammunition is heavier to carry.
The soviets switching from the 7.62x39 was probably more politically motivated than it was the 7.62 not being able to do the job. USA/NATO had a 22 center fire as their main ammunition so the soviets made one of their own.
