    Remember, when “rated” it’s usually rated at that strength for a certain number of rounds. Not continuous fire. For instance, a vest rated for 5.56 can usually take 1-3 at most before it loses effectiveness.

      Man, if you take 3 rounds of 5.56 to the chest that’s a bad day

        True but 5.56 rounds are… Interesting. Their high velocity/low mass makes them ricochet inside the body sometimes. There’s stories of being hit in the shoulder and the round coming out of the toe. I don’t know how true it is and I don’t intend to find out through personal experience. But that round was explicitly designed to wound over killing.

        Depends on whether it’s one person or 10.

            Not really anymore than a single person with a bad idea. Diversity of experience/insight means looking at problems from different angles. Have you ever heard of a lone individual pulling off a heist?
