First, there are BULLETS and there are CARTRIDGES- then there is US and then there is Europe.

In the US, a .308 bullet IS a 7.62 mm bullet. The .308 Winchester CARTRIDGE is similar to, but slightly different from the 7.62 NATO cartridge. The .308 has minor differences in the case measurements, has slightly less internal volume (due to thicker military brass) and is loaded to higher pressures that the military 7.62 NATO. The NATO round can be safely fired from a .308 Winchester rifle, but the reverse is not true.

In Europe, they measure bore diameter differently than the US does. Due to the different measuring technique, what the Europeans CALL a 7.62 mm (like the 7.62x39 cartridge for the SKS) is really closer to .311 than .308.

Does AK 47 762mm bullet have more range and stopping power than a 556mm NATO bullet?

Yes, the AK-47's 7.62mm round generally has more range and stopping power compared to the 5.56mm NATO round. The 7.62mm bullet is heavier and delivers greater kinetic energy, making it more effective at longer distances and better suited for penetrating hard targets. However, the 5.56mm NATO round allows for higher velocity and lower recoil, which can improve accuracy and control in rapid-fire situations. Ultimately, the choice between the two depends on the specific tactical requirements.

What is the standard height of an exterior door?

usually either 30" or 32" wide and the heights are usually 80". In the UK you tend to find that they are 27" (686mm) or 30" (762mm) wide. I note that new regs indicate you should fit 30 minute resistant fire doors, I have only been able to find these doors in the 30" or 33" varieties. Also in the UK they tend to be 78" (1981mm) high. The link in additional information provides some extra size info.
