I finally found out where this is coming from.
Was watching Top 10 Combat Rifles on the military channel and some British (expert) was spouting this. He said the bullet was designed to tumble when contacting flesh.
My personal thought is they us FMJ because bad guys hide behind cars,houses etc...
For enquiring minds the AK was #1 w/ M16 #2. BUT you can carry almost twice as much 223 at the same weight as 7.62 so not to worry were still better than the enemy
