Also, don't discount the effect of all the unburnt powder setting your target on fire in a CQB environment.A 168 grain 308 out of a 10" barrel packs 1665 ft lbs of energy
An AK shooting 7.62X39 out of a 16" barrel packs 1496 ft lbs of energy.
Thats 170 ft lbs more for 6 less inches. Nothing to sneeze at
180 grain 308 can get you well into the 1700 ft lb range for over 22 ft lbs difference.
Fire is a hell of a motivator.
