Actually, the 5.56mm is the result of extensive testing during the Korean and Vietnam era. The original idea was that large bullets that shoved a great deal of energy were the ideal; experimental testing revealed that small bullets at high velocities were even more effective. The 5.56mm is stable until it hits the target; then it goes nuts inside. If you look at the wound characteristics, you see a small hole where the bullet goes in and a gaping wound where it goes out.
