Once that !@#$ ruined 7n6 imports most everybody walked away from anything 5.45.

smaller calibers = shorter barrel hurts velocity more.

Quote HistoryQuoted: smaller calibers = shorter barrel hurts velocity more. True, but there are still plenty of 5.56 SBR/pistols out there. |

We already have 5.56 and 7.62 AK pistols. Why not 5.45? Because it was all a bunch of well orchestrated bullshit in the first place. |

As I recall, 5.45 does much better than 5.56 out of shorter barrels because it isn't as reliant on velocity for its wounding profile.
Then again non-surplus loads take care of that anyway. |

I thought 7N6 was cut off as "armor piercing" before the import ban to punish Russia over Ukraine. My understanding was 7N6 only became an issue because some douche put a 5.45 pistol to market. Now that 7N6 would be banned anyway is the market now open for a 5.45 pistol? Yea sure....whatever.

This is mostly true, but the ATF stated the reason was someone wanted to import a 5.45 pistol, even though there had been 5.45 pistols on the market previously |

Now that 7n6 is banned interest in 5.45 is low. Maybe when commercial 5.45 becomes more available we will see a few pistols in 5.45.
