Most LEO Patrol, SWAT, HRT, and Military teams use 556 direct impingement AR variants for most applications, both suppressed and unsuppressed. They have done years of testing and research on ballistics and firearms selection. I tend to defer to their expertise when it comes to putting holes in bad guys.
Or you can listen to the internet on stopping power and specialty cartridges.

Kinda like do you want to pop-pop-pop 3 rounds with "Ya 9" or Clint Eastwood one round!

True... but in the civilian world it will work lol and saying green tip makes for a lot of cool factor points

Correct... totally diff penetration, velocity, construction
This is true and is a product of me not wanting to calculate energy from any round and going with first result off of google. Either way, there are plenty of 62 grain rounds pushing 1300 foot pounds, so the point is the same.
No worries.
A lot of people do bring up M855A1 in discussions, but rarely talk about how it tears up your gun and isn’t available for us normal folks. People also forget, or have no clue, that rounds like .300BLK, .458 Socom, and 6.8 SPC were designed for specific purposes and never meant to replace 5.56 ammunition.
Defeating body armor, short guns suppressed 24/7, attempts at creating intermediate calibers to bridge the gap between 556 and larger calibers.
Jack mentioned M855A1, which essentially made all those other obscure calibers obsolete, but it’s not available for civilians and kills feed ramps and barrels in M4’s.
To be fair, lots of .mil stuff falls off of trucks.
I have more than one AR but i always load up some surpluss 30 round magazines
Grab the old arse Colt SP1 that always works with the little 3x20 Colt scope wimg nutted to the carry handle. You can see the sights under ot just fine.
Gotta a,can of military 5.56 on stripers
To refill the mags incase.
Ya never know when the Indians will attack.
Ya never asked but my dad's go was an old 1911 with ball ammo! Condtion one at all times.
He was used to shooting it and knew it back to front.
That's number one in my book.
