Like I said any caliber can kill. Just read about the Falklands war , Black hawk down etc.They told of many cases where the 5.56 failed miserably. The 5.56 is illegal to use for hunting in most states because it sucks on big game. Try to shoot threw a windshield and see how effective it is. It isn't. The 6.5 Grendel is just a better cartridge.The 5.56 has its place but not as our first line military cartridge. You can use what ever you think but I would rather have a cartridge that has better one round kill, better penetration little recoil and long range performance than a middle range varmint round.I have also seen first hand the 5.56 rounds failure to perform as should be expected.The SAS in the Falklands switched back to their FAL'S because of its poor performance.
