That statement is concrete proof that you don't understand anything whatsoever about guns. The 223 Rem/5.56 NATO is an intermediate power cartridge. In many states, it's not powerful enough to hunt deer legally. It produces a little over 1000 ft-lbs of muzzle energy. In comparison, most deer hunting calibers produce well over 2500 ft-lbs muzzle energy.
It would serve you well to actually do a little research on the subject before posting something unfactual and ridiculous.
