What is the 5.56x45mm?
From Wikipedia:
The 5.56×45mm NATO (official NATOnomenclature 5.56 NATO) is a riflecartridgedeveloped in the United Statesand originally chambered in the M16 rifle. Under STANAG4172, it is a standard cartridge for NATO forces as well as many non-NATO countries.[2]It is derived from, but not identical to, the .223 Remingtoncartridge. When the bullet impacts at high velocity and yaws[3] in tissue, fragmentation creates a rapid transfer of energy which can result in dramatic wounding effects.[4][5][6]
