Only positive with the 7.62 is the penetration in, say, concrete.

If you talk about effect on the human body, 5,56 wins. It also has less recoil and weights less (VERY important if you are an actual soldier).

There is a reason why all modern armies switched to 5.56 from 7.62
As Seamus explained above, the 7.62 was introduced all across Nato back in the day, and the last batch of AG3's are from the very early 70's. The battle rifle has a longer range than the assault rifle, while the assault rifle is far less bulky to drag through doors and alleys and such.

Weight and recoil concerns are for girly swedes, not something proper vikings care about.
