Hello Andrei,

IIRC the 7.62 NATO doesn't have that much penetration (more than the

back.
Not enough penetration to do in an Orc? I haven't read the book, but
the movie suggested Orcs were rather penetrable by the arrows and
swords of the humans.
Oh it would penetrate the first orc just fine, but meat is a lot of water
and does a dandy job of stopping bullets. I know a guy who retrieved a 30-06
round (same bullet as the 7.62 but with a slightly bigger charge behind it)
from a deer after a classic side shoot so a deer is thick enough to stop
a bullet and I aspect that an orc is thinker.
