<<The U.S. Army completed a study of current 5.56mm M855 round, in response to complaints from troops that this ammunition was in adequate in combat.>>

It tumbles when it hits but it's a .22, not even a good .22 like a 22/250. Kind of a chickenshit round. The .30 has a lot more knock down power.

It's the same thing with the 9mm handgun they switched to as I was leaving. Just an over grown .22 that I would use on squirrels. At least with the 45 you hit someone they went down.
