.223 Remington – Original AR-15 cartridge: .223 cartridges may function in a 5.56×45mm rifle, however 5.56×45mm cartridges may produce excessive pressure in a .223 Rem rifle. On the other hand, a .223 Wylde chamber is used on .223 Rem rifle barrels to allow them to safely fire either .223 Remington or 5.56×45mm NATO ammunition. [6]

The AK-101 is a Kalashnikov assault rifle model developed in 1994 to use the 5.56×45mm NATO cartridge. It belongs to the export AK-100 (rifle family). The design of this rifle is similar to the AK-74M. It is designed with modern and composite materials, including plastics that reduce weight and improve accuracy.
The SL8 has an unloaded weight of 4.3 kg (9.5 lb), overall length of 980–1,030 mm (39–41 in) and a trigger rated at 20 N (4.5 lb f). In November 2013, Heckler & Koch applied for permission from the German Government to sell a new civilian-legal version of the G36.
They can be chambered in 5.45×39mm, 5.56×45mm NATO and 7.62×39mm, and use a barrel and gas system assembly and iron sights line similar to that of the AK-74M/AK-100 rifle family. Improvements added from the AK-12 include Picatinny rails , a new pistol grip, a new adjustable buttstock and a new flash hider. [ 14 ]
