Water's 5.56 timeline that the Swedes felt that the M193 and 1/12 rifling was inhumane, so they apparently had some input into driving the direction of the NATO /7 twist for the 5.56 NATO 62 gr M855 to be 1/7 so that it would fragment less...I'm pretty sure the Swedes had nothing to do with the choice of 1:7 twist. That was dictated by the requirement to stabilize the very long L110/M856 Tracer bullet.
