The heading is confusing.British SAS is changing its weapons for anti terrorist op.7.62 is useful against Terrorist(as you've to shoot to kill.Even in India,SF of any Anti Terrorist/Anti Naxal OP generally prefer AKs as 5.56 isn't particularly useful against them).usefulness of 5.56 is in battlefields where to evacuate a wounded soldier,one or more soldiers(in mountain warfare,sometime 4-8 soldiers are needed to evacuate a single wounded soldier) have to move out of battlefield and it would be tough to replace.actually more practical approach(soon will be standard) is using 6.68 round which retains the lethal effect of 7.62 with less recoil and carrying capability of more cartridges than 7.62.
