"I also know of an NVA that took eight rounds center of mass from a Swedish "K" who merely looked annoyed until he got about ten more."

That was one tough hombre by any standard! I've read stories about British troops during the Falklands War shooting Argentine troops multiple times with the 5.56mm round, seeing the dust jump from the uniform with each hit, and the Argie still coming on. One shot from the 7.62 NATO round was a different story altogether.
