5.56 ammunition is designed to wound rather then kill as wounding an enemy is more detrimental to combat effectiveness than killing him. For example, if I have a section of 8 men and one of those is killed I still have 7 other men at my disposal, whereas if one of my section is wounded I lose him as well as at least two others to care for/evacuate for him therefore placing me at a greater disadvantage.

What is the meaning of a 31 day clock?
Clocks that have to be wound by hand fall into two categories, those that have to be wound every day, and those that have to be wound at longer intervals. Those that have to be wound at longer intervals are usually either 8 day clocks, or 31 day clocks. What it means is that the clock is designed to be wound the same time of the month each month. If you had a 31 day clock, you could wind it on the first of every month and know that it would last to the next month no matter what month it was. 8 day clocks are designed to be wound every 7 days.
