Original Note:
The claim in this thread that the 5.56 round is "high powered" is wrong. The Army Wound Ballistics Laboratory at Edgewood Arsenal found that the 5.56, which is low-powered, dramatically underperformed compared to other rounds available at the time. https://www.usni.org/magazines/proceedings/2002/august/its-cartridge-stupid-not-rifle
