re: 5.56mm vs. 7.62x39mm

The 5.56 is meant to hit then tumble around inside a person. The 7.62 is usually a more clean, straight through shot.

Military-spec 5.56 is meant to yaw on impact then shear at the canelure. Ideally this creates a rather explosive wound channel with severe remote wounding effects to surrounding organs. Heavier 5.56 bullets behave differently though as does the M855A1 cartridge.
