A “benefit” though could be that you’ll have less dead people from shootings with these and more injured. The round is substantial, but it penetrates more than anything. The reason the 5.56 is so lethal isn’t because of penetration, it’s because it tumbles when it hits human bodies and becomes a much more dangerous object compared to rounds from a handgun that fire clean through. It’s horrible to have to have a conversation about it, but I haven’t seen much testing from the 6.8mm or even much on the slight smaller creedmore on that aspect of it (tumbling).
