It does not.
Highly expensive frangible ammunition with limited penetration.
5.62mm I believe.
"Frangible" refers to something that is easily broken or shattered. It is often used in the context of materials or objects that are delicate and can be damaged with minimal force. For example, frangible materials may be used in specific applications where safety or ease of breakage is a concern, such as in certain types of ammunition or packaging.
Impossible to answer without more details. What range? What bullet weight? What barrel length?
The M16 has greater range than the AK, and a higher rate of fire. The ammunition weighs less, and has a greater wounding ability. The AK is simpler, and handles being dirty better than the M16.
ALL AMMUNITION IS REMOVED, CHAMBER IS EMPTY, ACTION IS CLOSED, AND SAFETY IS ON. which general condition code is this?
Yes
Used for training purposes, it is generally loaded with a frangible bullet. This is a bullet made of sintered metal (metal powder squeezed in a mold). On impact with a hard surface, it breaks apart into powder, reducing the hazard of ricochets.
The M16 was first used in the Vietnam War. It was a completely new weapon with a new caliber of ammunition. It was lighter and more deadly than its predecessors.
No, over time this can damage the spring mechanism that pushes fresh ammunition into the chamber.
Brittle or frangible.
5.56x45 is the ammunition originally developed for the M16 rifle. Many people mistakenly claim it is the same as .223 Remington ammunition, although this is not true - while the dimensions are similar, neck angles and other measurements differ between the two cartridges. In the late 1970s, after the US had announced that troops stationed in Europe would be equipped with M16 rifles, NATO sought a cartridge to make standard amongst their forces, in order for there to be cross compatability between NATO military forces. The weight of the 5.56x45 projectile was increased from 55 to 62 grains.
