Sieger, What you say is undoubtably true. I spent two years in Vietnam and saw some horrific wounds caused by the 223 Remington cartridge. The light bullet coupled with great speed caused strange things to happen when it hit bone.

I do not know the other reasons the German authorities had for changing the truncated cone bullet. Jerry Burney
