... you might want to re-read my comment because I'm definitely not saying that. The idea of "Shooting to wound" with any live round is moronic. Even .22lr can easily kill or cripple someone regardless of the shooter's intent.

I take issue with downplaying how powerful .223/5.56 is. Sure, there are absolutely more powerful rifle rounds. That being said, here's a video of cheap surplus 5.56 FMJ punching through 1/4" steel plate at 200 yards.
