Will the AK-47 actually fire a 5.56 round? Yes , the extractor will hold the round in place enough , for the primer to be struck , but the case will expand after firing & get stuck in the AK-47.
As unattended soldiers firing both AKMs and Galils on the same range have discovered at least once, in my experience. Trouble shooting that was nicely complicated by removing the Galil mag before calling for help. Some headache and a cleaning rod later, problem solved . . .
