This is from ai. Apparently not good on thin-skinned game.

The 5.56 NATO round was not considered effective on Somali militiamen during the Battle of Mogadishu in 1993 because it often passed through their bodies with minimal damage, unless it hit a vital area. This was attributed to the bullet's small caliber and light weight, leading to a tendency to penetrate rather than stop the enemy. While the 5.56 NATO round is standard for NATO militaries, its performance against Somalian militiamen raised questions about its effectiveness in certain combat scenarios. The Battle of Mogadishu, which involved the use of 5.56 NATO rounds, resulted in high casualties for both sides, including many Somalian militiamen who were not stopped by the standard NATO round
