I start to look at a Carbine for general use (plinking, target shooting and home-defense). I have a AK and AR rifle, and I really prefer the AR platform. The problem is: the .223 seems not performing well in a carbine from what I heard, short barrel length in a Carbine greatly reduced the fragmentation of the .223.
I heard that the 5.45x39 performs pretty well in a carbine length barrel because of its unique killing mechanism different than fragmentation, but I really want a M4 instead of a AK-74, so my question is: Is there any M4 AR rifle chambered in 5.45x39? (I know that some ARs come chambered in 7.62x39 and some AKs chambered .223).
Thanks,
