These rounds are extremely popular and NATO forces prefer their use on large fully automatic machine guns. We have a full review for the 50 BMG which you should check out. Additionally, NATO forces also use non-standardized rounds for weapons such as the. However, chances are that you have heard the term NATO round or bullet specifically about either the 5. The advantages of the intermediate power of the 5. The 5. They are also more adequate for the meter average combat range as is documented in actual battle.
What this means is that the soldier has greater firepower. Also, recoil is a factor that is dependent on many things and the caliber of ammo is an important condition. Because the 5. Lesser recoil also means improved accuracy for the soldier and a chance of hitting their target with every shot. A normal infantryman can carry more 5. Because of the small size, it makes them favorable for use on lighter, smaller, more compact rifles and squad automatic weapons as well.
The reason is due to the tendency of the lighter projectile to shatter or tumble on impact. Therefore, the 5. In this, the concept of more for less appears very complicated. But this is what it means, lethality is a concept that is aimed to address effectiveness as opposed to killing.
The Army had to shift from 7. It implies that in a combat situation, it will injure one and as a result, the enemy is forced to withdraw three soldiers out of the combat field to help the injured. It is also more costly for a nation to treat an injured soldier than to pay respect to a fallen Martyr. The 7. In the fight against terrorism, most forces prefer using the AK rifles and it makes sense. When fighting Anti Insurgency or running anti-terror ops, you need ammo with high stopping power.

A variety of special purpose ammo from ball, armor piercing to blanks are fired from these weapons. The bullet jumps a gap on firing of the cartridge before engaging the lands of the rifling.
What that means is that there is a slight pressure drop until the propellant gases push the bullet into and engage the rifling where pressure goes up. This allows the bullet to build a little inertia before engaging the rifling.
In civilian chamberings the bullet is in contact with rifling and the peak pressure arises early on as the gases must overcome the cutting of the lands into the bullet and overcoming the resultant friction. Another aspect is that the sports SAAMI chambers are tighter, enhancing accuracy, with less cartridge case expansion.
The effect is that a load that performs safely in a chamber with free bore, will produce higher chamber pressures in a tight chamber with little or no free bore and can be dangerous to the gun and shooter. Point two is that most military loads operate at higher pressure than their civilian counter parts. Therefore, you can shoot your sporting loads in a military rifle, but not the NATO rounds in a civilian gun, unless you have a gunsmith add some free bore.
NATO ammo is fired from looser chambers to ensure extraction during the firing cycle of semi and full automatic weapons. Good Subscriber Account active since Shortcuts.
