Just asking here, What is the purpose of the 5.56x30 ammunition used in the INSAS rifles?, Is it for PDW/CQB purposes or for a shooter with weak/small stature?

that is the ammo for the insas submachine carbine,normally 9mm bullets are used however in this case it was felt that 5.56x30 offers better penetration than the 9mm rounds and also to ensure commonality with the assault rifle and light machine gun versions of the insas rifles.
