    There is a point where the velocity doesn't matter and the energy alone kills you. It's why IIIA says it stops a .44 mag and 12ga slug, because it will stop more, but it's a moot point when the bad guy has 10ga or a .454.

    I love this test. There is an argument between AK and AR users over which bullet is better, but I think your test reveals a different perspective. Do you want Velocity, or do you want Joules? From what I learned, 5.56 will concentrate more energy in a smaller area and dump energy very fast. The 7.62 seems to get its penetration from its own mass but does not explode as the smaller round would. Just overall fascinating.
