Using a ballistic calculator, they determined that a 55-grain bullet would have to be fired at 3,300 ft/s (1,006 m/s) to achieve the 500-yard performance necessary. [ 5 ] Robert Hutton (technical editor of Guns & Ammo magazine [ clarification needed ] ) started development of a powder load to reach the 3,300 ft/s (1,006 m/s) goal.
The 5.56 mm round had to penetrate a standard U.S. helmet at 500 yards (460 meters) and retain a velocity over the speed of sound while matching or exceeding the wounding ability of the .30 carbine cartridge. [50] This request ultimately resulted in the development of a scaled-down version of the Armalite AR-10, named the ArmaLite AR-15. [51]
[25] In June, it was requested that the SAW specifications document be revised to emphasize standard 5.56 mm ammunition. In October, the requested revisions were approved, and bids were solicited for the conversion of the Rodman XM235 to 5.56 mm. Production of the converted XM235 was awarded to Ford Aerospace , and its designation was changed ...

Ballistically, the .450 Bushmaster has a rather flat trajectory out to 200 yards; if the firearm is zeroed at 150 yards, the user can expect to see a rise of 1.8 inches at 100 yards, zero at 150 yards, and a drop of 4.9 inches at 200 yards. [citation needed] The cartridge fits single-stacked in a standard AR-15 magazine with a single-stack ...
[4] [5] From a 300 mm (12 in) barrel, the tungsten saboted round has the same trajectory as a 5.56 NATO from an M4 carbine and a velocity of 578 m/s (1,900 ft/s) at 300 m (328 yd), which will penetrate CRISAT armor. [4] The 6.5×25mm CBJ brass-jacketed ball rounds are heavier than similar rounds in the FN 5.7×28mm and HK 4.6×30mm. [4]
Terminal ballistics is a sub-field of ballistics concerned with the behavior and effects of a projectile when it hits and transfers its energy to a target. Bullet design (as well as the velocity of impact) largely determines the effectiveness of penetration.
