Some of the Anti-gunners are claiming that tumbling 5.56 FMJs are soooo much more lethal than any other available bullet of any weight or diameter. James Fallows at Atlantic Online has been thumping the tub for an AR ban since February(at least) and has repeated that tumbling business in support of his claim that ARs were designed as "military killing machines of unusual lethality". Fallows, having been in the service in Viet Nam considers himself quite the expert on the ballistics of .223/5.56 mm FMJ service loads.
Sorry, but that guy sounds like a "piece of work."
Honestly, I see absolutely no use, for me at least, for FMJ bullets. I do not understand why anyone would want them. Solids in a 416 yes, solid cast bullets yes, but FMJ doesn't make any sense at all unless having to follow a Geneva convention or something.
