No joke, I think people would be absolutely horrified to find out what firearms did back in the day. I'd absolutely prefer to be shot by an AR-15 rather than chain shot.
I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure 5.56 was specifically made to be as humane as possible. Clean entry and exit, doesn't fall to bits inside of whatever you're shooting. The wound itself isn't much bigger than that from a 9mm. Compare that with .308 or 7.62x39.
Its actually the other way around. 5.56 has a greater tendency to break apart and/or have a larger wound channel than those other calibers.
Note that it wasn't at all invented for this purpose...the military was thinking far more about logistics and ammo counts/weight over other considerations.
