Compared to larger calibers, proponents of the 5.56×45mm NATO round contend that animal studies of the wounding effects of the 5.56×45mm NATO round versus the 7.62×39mm have found that the 5.56×45mm NATO round is more damaging, due to the post-impact behavior of the 5.56 mm projectile resulting in greater cavitation of soft tissues.

300 AAC Blackout, Uses military 5.56x45 (also .223). The shoulder is reformed, length is trimmed, neck is sized to .308. This caliber is very popular, and examples are available in a wide variety of styles. Bullet weights can currently be found between 100gr to 220gr 7.62x40 Wilson Tactical (300 HAM'R), Uses 5.56 NATO cases (also .223 ...
The table below gives a list of firearms that can fire the 5.56×45mm NATO cartridge, first developed and used in the late 1970s for the M16 rifle, which to date, is the most widely produced weapon in this caliber. [1] Not all countries that use weapons chambered in this caliber are in NATO. This table is sortable for every column.
The "Caliber" section, which is, in my opinion, heavily biased in favour of 7.62x39 (with lots of "however"s following the short, underplayed mentions of 5.56's advantages), compares 7.62x39 hollow point ammunition to 5.56x45 military ball ammo. This seems unfair at best and irrelevant at worst, as hollow-point ammunition is illegal in warfare ...
Fragmentation is the process by which the casing, shot, or other components of an anti-personnel weapon, bomb, barrel bomb, land mine, IED, artillery, mortar, tank gun, autocannon shell, rocket, missile, grenade, etc. are dispersed and/or shattered by the detonation of the explosive filler.
The village of Barnes Corner, New York, 80 miles north of Syracuse on Lake Ontario, had reported 65.5 inches of snow as of Monday morning, while Fort Drum to the north had 63 inches.
This fragmentation by blast wave is known as 'scabbing' or 'spalling', with the fragments termed 'scabs or 'spall'. [4] [2]Depending upon the armour thickness, a heavy piece of target material (4 to 10 kg (8.8 to 22.0 lb) for a 120 mm (4.7 in) round used in Arjun MBT [4]) can separate out from the other end of the target with supersonic velocities.
For example, if you weigh 150 pounds, that’s at least 52.5 grams of protein daily. But here’s the catch:, Building muscle requires eating significantly more protein than just maintaining the ...
