it depends on the rifle. 7.62mm is the same as .30cal. the mosin nagant series of rifles shoot 7.62x54R. your rifle is probably marked with the correct calibur.
Good answer. A 7.62 Nato or American rifle will shoot the 7.62x51 round or .308 Winchester round (don't try firing 7.62x51 round in a rifle marked .308 Winchester though, it's not safe.)
An AK-47 fires a round called the 7.62x39 and the .30-06 rifle fires a round sometimes called the 7.62x63. As you can see, 7.62 is a popular bullet size!
A carbine is simply a rifle with a shorter than normal barrel. They are about as old as the rifle itself, and were used by military forces that needed a shorter, handier rifle, such as Cavalry troops or Artillerymen.
I think this would be a problem of momentum. p=mv so if the momentum of the bullet is 20 (.01x200=20) then the recoil velocity should equal 10 m/sec (2x10=20). Good old Newtons 3rd Law.
18 for a military style semi automatic. For a true assault rifle, which would be an NFA Class III full auto weapon, 21.
An M16 is an Assault Rifle used by the military. I somehow doubt that a 10 year old would fit inside of one.
For a transferrable, select fire, NFA tax stamped rifle, 21. For a semi auto military styled rifle, 18. This law pertains to the US, and laws will vary in other countries.

If your magic bullet isnt working it getting old !!
Crockett had a rifle, which he called Old Betsy. A rifle has spiral grooves inside the barrel, which make the bullet spin when it is fired out of the barrel. In the same way a quarterback tries to spin the football when throwing a pass, this made the bullet fired from a rifle much more accurate than those fired from a musket. A musket is a smooth-bore weapon - no grooves inside the barrel, therefore no spin on the bullet. A musket shot is more like a knuckleball in baseball - no spin, liable to go anywhere, even a puff of wind can change its course, and musket balls do not have as long a range as rifle balls. As far as I know some Mexican wound up with Crockett's rifle after he died at the Alamo in 1836. Photography had not yet been invented.
