5.56mm
The 5.56mm cartridge is a small-caliber, high-velocity round commonly used in military and civilian rifles, particularly in AR-15-style firearms. Developed in the 1960s, it became the standard for NATO forces due to its balance of range, accuracy, and low recoil, making it suitable for automatic and semi-automatic fire. The 5.56mm is lighter than larger calibers, allowing soldiers to carry more ammunition. Known for its high velocity, it is effective at penetrating soft body armor but loses effectiveness at long distances compared to larger rounds like the 7.62mm.
