A tumbling bullet, as it penetrates live tissue, is actually desirable in a light FMJ bullet in that caliber and in that role. It does much more damage in passing than an FMJ that doesn't. Think about it. Remember, this tumbling starts after initial penetration. The entrance hole is a perfect circle, like any other type of bullet would be. The tumbling was not a major flaw of the M16 system.
