The 5.56x45mm NATO round is a micro-caliber rifle round based upon the .223 Remington loading. In the US military, it is known as the M855A1 in it's most recent incarnation. In the rest of the world the 5.56x45mm NATO is known as the SS109.
Originally, the 5.56x45mm was designed with two goals in mind: Incapacitation, and weight reduction. The round was designed to wound a soldier, rather than kill them outright like the 7.62x51mm NATO round that came before it, as it would take two more soldiers out of the fight to take care of them.
Not only this, but the 5.56x45mm NATO is shorter and lighter than the 7.62x51mm NATO round that was it's predecessor, allowing troops to carry more ammunition.

The 5.56x45mm NATO round, also called the SS109, is the most commonly used Military-issue rifle round in the western world. However, it's usefulness has deteriorated against an enemy that does not value their lives, nor the lives of their comrades.

Get the namora mug.Facetious far-left political ideology for anarchists who support NATO defense from outside aggression. This ideology uses the prefix "anarcho-" to suggest it is a type of anarchism in the same way other ideologies do - anarcho-feminism or anarcho-syndicalism. Together with the acronym for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. NATO is often criticized by the left, which prompts some leftists who are not as critical of NATO to create this label.
"I think we should abolish the state, capitalism, and NATO is not perfect, but it is a valuable defense alliance against Russian aggression. You can call this anarcho-NATOISM!"
