Soviet rimless intermediate cartridge
5.45×39mm
The 5.45×39 mm cartridge is a rimless bottlenecked intermediate cartridge. It was introduced into service in 1974 by the Soviet Union for use with the new AK-74. The 5.45×39 mm gradually supplemented and then largely replaced the 7.62×39mm cartridge in Soviet and Warsaw Pact service as the primary military service rifle cartridge. This change was made in order to compete with the American 5.56×45mm NATO for a light, flat shooting round.
