simple question, simple awnser the caliber was made to be less leathel. the goal was to wound and not kill thus reqireing personal to move the injured from the fields of battle. getting 2-3 people tied up at one time was deemed more effective then littering the zones with bodies.
I don't know about you, but I don't think the military shoots at people with the intent to wound them. The premise is sound, but they changed because they could carry a LOT more ammunition.
