"I know for sure our troops have taken multi hits from 7.62x39mm and survived."
Of course, 7.62x39 has horrible terminal ballistics. It makes a good hole, but no explosion or expansion, providing it's FMJ.
Yeah but . . .
122 gr bullet running about 2,300 fps, and developing 1480 fpe is going to ruin most of your day.
It's highly effective at the ranges for which it's intended -- 300 yds. And it penetrates what needs to be penetrated, like car bodies, windshields, and structural walls.
100 Million AK-47's have been produced. There must be something to it.
Caliber Wars -- we can go back and forth on this forever. AND, I can strenuously argue either side.
