gun nut:
I want to hear input from you all. Witch round is better over all 5.56x45(223remington) OR 7.62X39 (AK-47Round). I like both rounds so much I have guns for each caliber. Anyway I just want to see what everone else thinks

GunEnvy:
For stopping power I lean more towards the 7.62 but I prefer the AR platform over the AK and SKS

1858remington:
I would have to go with the 7.62x39.
 
The 5.56 beats it on range, but most fighting now days is city, door to door. 
I have a buddy who, while serving in Iraq, shot an insurgent.  he hit the guy in the chest.  He said the guy didn't even flinch, he just dropped his gun and asked to be taken for medical aid.

The 7.62 round would have put the insurgent down and out. 

So for up close, put down power, go with the 7.62.
