[QUOTE="buzby, post: 2990721, member: 120420"] Getting off topic a bit, but pistol rounds are more prone to over penetration than 5.56 in cqb. It does seem counter initiative, but the rifle rounds are more likely to break up against light barriers, where the pistol rounds, being heavier, will have more momentum. Box Of Truth did a test years ago. With layers of drywall, and pistol rounds penetrated just as much as 5.56. Couple that with the better internal ballistic performance of 5.56, and you see why most swat/entry teams are now running mk18s over mp5s/PCCs. [/QUOTE]
