You are an idiot.

The 5.56×45mm NATO (official NATO nomenclature 5.56 NATO, commonly pronounced "five-five-six") is a rimless bottlenecked centerfire intermediate cartridgefamily developed in the late 1970s in Belgium by FN Herstal.[5] It consists of the SS109, L110, and SS111 cartridges.


The Army is changing its standard ammunition primarily to improve performance against body armor and increase effective range, moving from 5.56mm to 6.8mm rounds for its new Next Generation Squad Weapon (NGSW). This shift aims to enhance lethality and accuracy at longer distances, a key consideration in modern warfare.
