NATO standard refers to the standard round used by all NATO countries troops so if a country is operating with Another Country and the guy from the other country runs out of ammo he can pick up the other mans ammo.
The NATO standard for Assault Rifles is 5.56X45mm NATO
and for pistols 9X19mm NATO.
I think you mean NATO as in NATO Standard but this is coffee tea with two sugars.
The standard NATO cartridge is the 62 grain 5.56x45 SS109.
5.56mm x 45mm (5.56 is the diameter of the buller, 45mm is the length of the brass casing). NATO implies that this is THE 5.56mm round used by NATO forces. Similar to 7.62mm x 51mm NATO is the standard .30 caliber round use by NATO forces.
The HK21 uses NATO standard 7.62x51 cartridges.
It uses a 9x19mm Parrabullum NATO round, which is the standard round for most pistols and submachine guns made by countries in NATO.
7.62 mm NATO AmmoThe first standard NATO cartridge, the 7.62 x 51mm NATO, was developed by the United States as a successor to the .30 Caliber M2 round (30-06), which had served as the standard U. S. rifle cartridge since 1906.The standard .30 Caliber M2 cartridge propelled a 150 grain projectile at a muzzle velocity of 2,800 fps (848 mps). That's 848 meters per second not miles.
The Nato 49ner was stamped by a large gun distrubuter back in the 70's no one can find out by whom or how many was made

Depends on which military is using it. In the US military, the standard issue cartridge is the 5.56x45mm M855 cartridge. It is a 62 grain full metal jacket round. In NATO, the SS109 cartridge is standard, and this is also used by many non-NATO forces which maintain some degree of alignment with the West.
