Do you have some info on that? I know that the .223Rem was standardized by SAAMI for civilian use, whereas the 5.56x45 round was standardized by NATO for the militaries of member nations.

As far as I am aware, there was only one standard for the 7.62x39.

Also, I'm only speaking of dimensions, not different types of bullets like HP, FMJ, TMJ, BT, tracer, etc.

I posted this on the other thread, but seeing as this one is more active, I repost:

Article says she was shot in the lower back - Sounds like a less skilled shooter.

The article also says that it was NOT a high powered weapon.

Question re "high powered" - The weapons that the police displayed at their press conference today as samples included an AR-15 and a long gun with scope. Are these both "high powered"?
