Either you haven't read ****, or nothing penetrates.

The lighter round was a CONSEQUENCE not the purpose.
The PURPOSE was to exploit the discovery of the "temporary cavity".

It was called SCHV.

no idiot, it was the lighter round.  But that is not relevant to your argument.  The 7.62 was a more powerful round.  Bigger and heavier.  I posted the effects.  Being  Ana idiot  you prolly lined it out,

Who cares? The round needed to be lighter.  .
Source(s): [1][2]The .223 Remington (designated as the 223 Remington by the SAAMI[3] and 223 Rem by the CIP[4]) is a rimless, bottlenecked riflecartridge. It was developed in 1957 by Remington Arms and Fairchild Industries for the U.S. Continental Army Command of the United States Army as part of a project to create a small-caliber, high-velocity firearm. The .223 Remington is considered one of the most popular common use cartridges and is currently used by a wide range of semi-automatic and manual-action rifles as well as handguns.In the U.S. Army, the cartridge is referred to as "Cartridge, 5.56 mm ball M193." The 5.56×45mm NATO was also developed from the 223 Remington.[5]

The development of the cartridge, which eventually became the .223 Remington, was linked to the development of a new lightweight combat rifle. The cartridge and rifle were developed by Fairchild Industries, Remington Arms, and several engineers working toward a goal developed by U.S. Continental Army Command (CONARC). Development began in 1957. A project to create a small-caliber, high-velocity (SCHV) firearm was created. Eugene Stoner of ArmaLite was also invited to scale down the AR-10 (7.62×51mm NATO) design.[6]Winchester was also invited to participate.[7][5]
