yeah, but bigger holes let the bad out faster
Actually, a military 5.56 FMJ tends to "tumble" once entering the human body..it can bounce around like a ball in a piball machine, causing damage to multiple organs. However, compared to the 7.62 we used in the M40, terminal ballsitics at anything over 500 yards weren't even close. In other words, ya could hit 'em, but probably wont drop 'em. But, out here in civilian life, if you shoot anyone over 20 feet away, you're in the hurt locker, anyway. Dont mind me, I'm just rambling
