That sentence makes no sense. What is being averaged if we are discussing a single unit and a single tour?

Police are not shooting enough human beings with 5.56mm at CQB ranges to be statistically relevant

Well, they aren’t shooting as many people as military circa 2002-2008 for sure. On the other hand, every guy shot by police results in a forensic reconstruction of the entire shooting for legal purposes. Entry wound location, exit wound location, shot angles, body cam recordings, autopsies, medical records, etc. If you shoot a lot of people but don’t collect any data beyond what you observe with your own eyes, that’s not statistics, it is a series of anecdotes.

The wonder bullet for 5.56 has yet to materialize

You keep saying this; but you don’t really discuss what a viable alternative is or even make very clear what you consider necessary in a “wonder bullet.” If your criteria is one shot instant incapacitation with an upper torso hit, then there isn’t a wonder bullet in any caliber.
