and the 5.56 could adequately penetrate the brick and concrete cover found in such urban environments?

There are a lot of Britsh .303 Enfields in Afganistan and the range of that old man killer is 1,000 yards.
But luckily, not too many shooters who can achieve that are to be found there.

Have you heard of any ISAF troops been taken out by single aimed shots from 400m and beyond?
