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.
Alright I'm like 1 minute new here, but I've been lurking for a long time on this site soaking in as much info and I believe it's time I start bouncing ideas and knowledge as well!
I remember watching a history Channel show years ago can't remember what episode or show, probably modern marvels or something, but anyways to the point of this, 5.56 were created to be a lighter alternative to the 308, and more meant for wounding rather than killing. Wound a man and you potentially take multiple people out of the fight as they try to help their buddy. Nobody on either side wants to see their brother in arms bleed out.
5.56 wasn't specifically designed for wounding. And our military's tactics don't work around a "wound 1 to take out 3" type of approach.
Hey like I said I saw it on history Channel. Probably not totally factual and probably just one "experts" speculation. Kinda made sense to me though when he said it.
