I've heard that the 5.56mm round has very little overpenetration of things like interior walls (ie the round is going so fast that when it hits an object it is disrupted and fragments). I was curious if the 5.45mm round does this too. The specifications are pretty similar (50 something grain bullet moving at 3000 FPS or so) are pretty similar, and I believe the 5.45 has an airspace in the nose to assist in fragmentation/yawing. Does anyone have a ballistics chart that compares the trajectory of both rounds?
