This video debunks the myth that 5.56 NATO bullets tumble end-over-end in flight, explaining that tumbling is primarily an effect that occurs upon impact, especially with older rifling twist rates and lighter bullets. The discussion highlights how rifling twist rates, such as 1:12, 1:7, and 1:8, affect bullet stability in flight and upon impact, particularly with different bullet weights like 55, 62, and 77 grains. It clarifies that while a slow twist rate (1:12) with lighter bullets might lead to yawing or keyholing upon impact, the bullet itself does not tumble in the air.
