		In western (NATO) forces, the 7.62 mm NATO round has been mostly replaced by the lighter 5.56 mm NATO round, which is better suited for automatic fire than the larger round and each soldier can carry more ammunition.
		Other nations, especially forces with former ties to the Soviet Union tend to use rifles related to or devleoped from the AK-47 with similar sized rounds to the NATO ones.
		The larger caliber ammunition is still retained where range and weight of shot is important eg machine guns and sniper rifles.

		In the 1990s, Izhmash designers developed the unified complex of Kalashnikov assault rifles chambered for domestic 7.62 x 39mm, 5.45 x 39mm cartridges as well as the 5.56 x 45mm NATO cartridge to expand the export capabilities of the enterprise.
		In the near future, the complex will be supplemented by such light machine guns as the RPK-101 (chambered for the NATO 5.56 x 45 cartridge), the RPK-102 (chambered for the 5.45 x 39 cartridge) and the RPK-103 (chambered for the 7.62 x 39 cartridge).

	7.62 mm Versus 5.56 mm - Does NATO Really Need Two Standard
		The large size of the 147-grain 7.62 mm projectile is more than sufficient to incorporate significant improvements in lethality and penetration.
		This cartridge propelled a small 125 grain bullet at a relatively moderate muzzle velocity of 2,100 fps (636 mps), Paralleling the evolution of the 7.9 mm Kurz was the development of a new, compact, select-fire rifle chambered for the new ammu- nition.
		During the years just prior to World War II, the Imperial Japanese Army replaced their 6.5mm (.256 Caliber) rifle ammuni- tion with a 7.7mm (.303 Caliber) cartridge due to the smaller round's poor lethality and its inability to penetrate barriers and effectively stop enemy troops.

	WHAT
		First was due to the fact that the larger 7.62 mm round needed a bigger explosive charge to propel it at the desired 900 meters per second.
		Even though the INSAS 5.56 mm rifle has been around for a few years now, but there doesn’t seem enough of them for most of our troops still carry the AK-47 or the old Ishapore 7.62 mm semi-automatic rifle.
		Ever since the US army introduced the Eugene Stoner designed M-16, a 5.56 mm caliber automatic rifle in the latter stages of the Vietnam War, the 5.56 weapon has been the NATO standard.

	.223 Remington -
		A sporting cartridge of almost the same physical dimensions as the 5.56 x 45 mm NATO cartridge but with a difference in the "lead" of the chamber throat.
		.223 Remington ammunition is among the least expensive centerfire calibers and is often used by avid target shooters, particularly in the "high power rifle" category.
		The latter category are often used by law enforcement, for home defense, and for varmint hunting (especially farm and ranch work, after which Ruger named a version of its Mini-14 the "Ranch Rifle").

		Promptly rechristened as the 7.62 mm NATO, the new ammunition was also officially adopted by the U.S. in 1954 as the new national standard ammunition for rifles and rifle-caliber machine guns.
		The experimental ammunition was at first identified as "Caliber.30 short" and later as "Caliber.30 T65" and "Caliber.30 Light-Rifle" before its standardization as 7.62 mm NATO ammunition early in 1954.

	Armor piercing small caliber projectile - Patent 4619203
		The first is the reintroduction of the steel nosed lead bullet in such forms as the new NATO 5.56 mm round (called the "M855 by the U.S. Army).
		It would seem that little further could be done to improve the 5.56 mm round, since 5.56 mm is too small to reduce its caliber further to give a saboted round, except perhaps to single flechette, and as yet flechette rifle rounds have all been abandoned as unseccessful.
		A small caliber armor-piercing bullet is described in which a case hardened steel nosed lead projectile is utilized to help reduce projectile fragmentation at impact.

	Miscellaneous Questions 4
		It must also be noted that all 5.56 x 45 mm NATO ammunition (such as US M855) requires a 1:9" twist or faster rifling to stabilize the long 62 gr ball bullet and a 1:7" twist to stabilize the extremely long tracer variation.
		The cartridge cases themselves are substantially identical with the exception that the NATO specification rounds (those marked with the NATO "cross in circle" mark) have substantially thicker cases than the commercial variety and slightly different tolerances on some dimensions.
		The cartridge cases themselves are effectively identical with the exception that military and/or NATO specification rounds (those marked with the NATO "cross in circle" mark) may have thicker cases and are thus able to withstand stretching better when fired in loose chambered military weapons (done for reliability purposes).
