Of course shot placement is the main determinant of effectiveness - the most impressive ubermagnum isn't much use if it misses the target - but against that you have to set the testimony of many soldiers who have used both 5.56mm and 7.62mm NATO weapons in combat that the 7.62mm is far more effective in that it puts the target down promptly a much bigger percentage of the time. Despite the fact that the 7.62mm M80 has a slow yaw performance and doesn't fragment.
