Myth vs Fact: The Tumbling 5.56 Bullet
Myth: The 5.56 bullet tumbles through the air, which is why it wounds so badly.
Fact: Rifling spin keeps it stable and point-first in flight. It can yaw sideways after entering soft tissue, where it may break apart.
Had you heard the airborne-tumbling version of this myth before?
