WAY WAY WAY off topic here, but speaking of .223 and 5.56 and ARs, www.snipercountry.com has a link to an excelent editorial article from a primary source on the deployment / development / performance of the XM16-E1 and said cartridges. check it out, it is a compelling read.

also, a bit more on topic, I have a pics of some .50BMG as seen at the top of this page. in M2-ball, APIT, and / or match loads. I am sure shrapnel does not need the random pics i have laying around, and they probably chose that one for the size (bytes) of the image more than anything else. personally I think that a recticle, or a night sight, or a spotter monocoule or even a rifle scope would make a snazzy "INTEL" type picture while still maintaining the hard battlefield type feel.
