Actually, this may surprise you, but you are precisely wrong in that. Which is to say, your belief is not only wrong, it's actually the opposite of the truth. Assault rifles -- TRUE assault rifles -- were designed to wound, not to kill.
Utter myth. A wounded man is still capable of killing you.
Anyway, the M-193 5.56mm ball round actually is deadlier than a heavier round, according to studies. A heavy round like a 7.62mmN will punch through, leave a clean wound channel. A 5.56mmN will bounce around in soft tissue.
That being said, the point of any firearm is to kill. rats to elephants, the only point of a firearm is to drive bits of metal into a living object at high speed.
