It would be very consistent with a doctor who has been treating these wounds and that has seen some of the recovered bullets.
5.45x39: AK74: 60 grain: Bullet relatively remains in one piece and tumbles very quickly 2-3". Has a steel core.
5.56x45: M-16: 62 grain: Bullet tumbles after 6-8", has tendency to break/fragment at the cannular.
