I would need to be convinced that a 5.56 is useful for anything when you don't wear a uniform.

I've realized that it's a fool's errand to try to convince anyone about their choice of gun. I do agree that my .22 rifle and pistol has been a lot more 'useful' day to day. Hardly ever shoot my 30-30 either.
