A 5.56 NATO round fired from a 20 in (510 mm) barrel has a flatter trajectory than a 7.62 NATO round fired from a barrel of equal length, while the 5.56 NATO fired from a 14.5 in (370 mm) barrel has the same trajectory as the 7.62 NATO from a 20 in barrel, as well as the same time of flight.
A guide to the recoil from the cartridge, and an indicator of bullet penetration potential. The .30-06 Springfield (at 2.064 lbf-s) is considered the upper limit for tolerable recoil for inexperienced rifle shooters.

Nevertheless, there is significantly more to accuracy and cartridge lethality than the length and diameter of the case, and the 7.62×51mm NATO has a smaller case capacity than the .30-06 Springfield, [17] reducing the amount of propellant that can be used, directly reducing the bullet weight and muzzle velocity combination that contributes to ...
There are two variants, K2C, a carbine version with a short barrel, and K2C1, modified with modern specifications.

The M4's 14.5-in. barrel length reduces muzzle velocity to about 2900 ft/s. [151] This reduced wounding ability is one reason that, despite the Army's transition to short-barrel M4s, the Marine Corps has decided to continue using the M16A4 with its 20-inch barrel as the 5.56×45mm M855 is largely dependent upon high velocity in order to wound ...
It weighs 3.5 kg (7.72 lb) and has a length of 914–1,003 mm (35.98–39.49 in). The barrel is chrome-lined. Iron and or optical sights are installed on an integral MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail on the top of the receiver and additional accessories can be mounted on the fore end quad rails.
The rifle accepts most synthetic and metal AK-74-style magazines with 30-round capacity. The AK-101 has a 415 mm (16.3 in) barrel [6] with an AK-74 style muzzle brake attached to the barrel to control muzzle climb. The AK-101 is chambered in 5.56mm NATO [7] and features a black glass-filled polyamide side folding stock, which folds to the left. [8]
The .30-06 Springfield cartridge case can hold 68.2 grains and has a volume of 4.42 millilitres (0.270 in 3). The exterior shape of the case was designed to promote reliable case feeding and extraction in bolt-action rifles and machine guns alike, under extreme conditions.
