"...The kind used in those scary guns.
Two common and often talked about ones.
One is the 5.56x45mm, which is also known as the .223 Rem.
Developed for a new Armalite rifle in 1957.
Which is basically a longer .222 Rem. and the power of the .222 Rem Mag.
Currently just about every major manufacture, (and some minor ones), make a bolt action for the .223 Rem (aka 5.56x45),
wood stocked semi-autos, single shots, both rifle and pistol, (Rem even made a Pump), and they out number the Military, ‘scary’ guns.
NOTE: If you have a ’tight’ custom chamber in your civilian firearm.
It would be best to Not use military rounds designated as 5.56x45mm
The military rounds, depending on where they were made, have more of a +/- tolerance, than the .223 Rem rounds.
(Which are made by many companies, including Remington)
The general rule is, use, .223R or 5.56x45mm in a Semi-Auto, And only .223R, in all others
The other is the 7.62x39mm.
This round was used in the SKS semi-auto, (China), and adopted in Russia in 1943 for the new AK-47.
Their are about 1/4 of the civilian guns made for that round, (bolt, SS, Semi-auto, pistol), than the .223R.
Perhaps it is the lack of accuracy, because it is not a, .308 diameter bullet. it uses a .311 dia bullet.
And a whole lot of people tried to make the .308 work.
Banning either of those rounds, would be banning them for the use of self protection, sporting, (Many competitions use those rounds) and Hunting.
A thought, Punish the DFI that uses that tool,
not the tool, and those that use it correctly.
