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.
