While I understand the sentiment and the punch of the 7.62mm I think for a combat round I'd be more likely to use the 5.56mm too for one simple reasons. In 10KG of weight you get
7.62x51mm 280 rounds
7.62x39mm 360 rounds
5.56x45mm 660 rounds
Nearly 2X the ammo? Yea I'm going 5.56mm While the 7.62 hits harder, it can't hit if you're out of ammo!
