So, simply put, how can the 5.56mm projectile be made more lethal? A weaker canneleur for fragmentation at lower velocities, a longer bullet for more material fragmenting inside the body? Seems to me that the next leap in firearms technology will be advances in bullet design.

A heavier bullet with a hollow cavity at the tip, to increase tumbling when it hits regardless of velocity.

Read “The Day of the Jackal”, if you can find it in a bookstore or library.

Simply put:  Take a hollow-point, fill the tip with mercury.  Seal it.  Major nasty.
