This is a table of selected pistol/submachine gun and rifle/machine gun cartridges by common name. Data values are the highest found for the cartridge, and might not occur in the same load (e.g. the highest muzzle energy might not be in the same load as the highest muzzle velocity, since the bullet weights can differ between loads).
The pistol accepts the same STANAG magazine that is used in the M-16, AR-15, and other NATO rifles chambered for 5.56×45mm. [3] The PLR-16's frame is constructed of reinforced polymer, making the pistol both durable and light-weight. The frame incorporates a Picatinny rail molded to the top of the receiver to accept various optical sights. [2]
The Ruger AR-556 is a semiautomatic AR-15 style rifle manufactured by U.S. firearms company Sturm, Ruger & Co. Introduced in 2014 as an entry-level AR-15 using a direct impingement action, with variants since being released such as the upgraded AR-556 MPR (multi-purpose rifle) in 2017 [1] and the AR-556 pistol in 2019.
Both share an identical head/rim. The 450B is limited to 35,000-psi, which is more common in pistols, and lower than similarly sized rifle cartridges. The 450B uses .452" diameter bullets, most often seen in the abundant 45-caliber pistol styles. The 300gr version is rated at 1900fps at the muzzle, and the 250gr at 2200fps. 458 SOCOM ...
The Ruger-5.7 is a semi-automatic pistol introduced in December 2019 by Sturm, Ruger & Co. [3] It is the first traditionally-styled semi-automatic pistol to be chambered for the 5.7×28mm cartridge since the introduction of the Excel Arms MP-57 in 2012. [4]
The PSD is an AR-15 style pistol which uses the same platform as the AR-15. The platform allows uppers to be switched and the lower receiver is the same specifications as the AR-15. [3] It is fitted with LWRCI's flip-up iron sights and the controls are ambidextrous. The gun has MIAD pistol grip and the trigger pull measures 7.5 pounds.
Note *: The effective range of a firearm is the maximum distance at which a weapon may be expected to be accurate and achieve the desired effect. [168] Note **: The horizontal range is the distance traveled by a bullet, fired from the rifle at a height of 1.6 meters and 0° elevation until the bullet hits the ground. [169]
An intermediate cartridge is a rifle/carbine cartridge that has significantly greater power than a pistol cartridge but still has a reduced muzzle energy compared to fully powered cartridges (such as the .303 British, 7.62×54mmR, 7.65×53mm Mauser, 7.92×57mm Mauser, 7.7×58mm Arisaka, .30-06 Springfield, or 7.62×51mm NATO), and therefore is ...
