And those rounds are THAT much more effective out of the longer barrel. Honestly, my 20" is not much longer then my SMLE No5 MkI "Jungle Carbine", or my Marlin 1894SS... both of which are considered to be very nice handling, and excellent pointers.
The min Barrel Length I would go to would be a 16" (I have a 16"), but if this AR was my only 5.56 gun... I would defiantly get a 20".
I can post comparison pics of rifle lengths if anyone is interested.
Oh, nice guns 'Dog. That A1 is fucking sick.

Yeah, you can get reliable fragmentation at lower velocities with $1.00+ per round ammo.
A 20" rifle with $.32/round M193 will reliably fragment out to almost 200 yards.
Heck, even steel cased soft points usually cost more than M193 and you sacrifice penetration and possibly some reliability.
A 20" barrel has a certain "economy of lethality" going for it that I appreciate.

Well, to further confuse the issue. Army SF uses an 18" barrel in the SPR's with either a 75g or 77g round, can't remember specifics off the top of my head. And not to be out done, the SEALs supposedly have a 16" version as well. I think they claim 600yd effective range. I can't imagine either group would field it if it didn't work.
Yep. The Seal variant is the Recon rifle, or RECCE for short. They are built by crane arsenal and are primarily intended for use by spotters on sniper teams. They use a 16in barrel with a carbine length gas system.
The SPR is a dedicated sniper system and is optimized for use with a suppressor. However, both are highly specialized tools. Both the SEALS and SF use M4A1s with SOPMOD kits for the regular stuff.
