Extreme Shock - The World's Most Advanced Ammunition
The ASP rounds are interesting, and might serve as a model for something similar in 5.7x28mm

Benchrest Central Forums - Centerfire version of a 22LR?
Posted by Asa Yam:
Benchrest Central Forums - Centerfire version of a 22LR?: "The .22 Cooper Centerfire Magnum falls between the .22 WMR and .22 Hornet. Loading data can be seen at
http://www.accuratepowder.com/loadd...ndard_22cal.htm then clicking on the link for the .22 CCM
I think that a smaller case capacity and a shorter casing would help to further lower the MV. Something like a necked down .25 ACP (.25 Auto)casing or a shortened 5.7x28mm (FN PDW/Five seveN cartridge - see http://www.impactguns.com/store/10700014BX.html). Note that the 5.7x28 has an even lower MV than the .22 CCM - but still a little higher than that for a .22 LR. The 5.7x28 also appears to have a proprietary bolt face - .305' (close to the .302' of the .25 Auto). The OAL of the 5.7x28 casing is in the neighborhood of 1.133'
It might be easier to shorten a .221 Fireball casing. Brass is easier to find, and suitable rifle bolt faces are more available."

ASSAULT RIFLES AND THEIR AMMUNITION:
ASSAULT RIFLES AND THEIR AMMUNITION:
ASSAULT RIFLES AND THEIR AMMUNITION:
HISTORY AND PROSPECTS
Revised 21/10/2006

Introduction
First, I need to define what I mean by an "assault rifle", as there are various definitions around. The one I use is:
"A military rifle, capable of controlled, fully-automatic fire from the shoulder, with an effective range of at least 300 metres".
This has some clear implications for the ammunition such weapons are chambered for. First, it excludes all weapons designed around pistol cartridges (i.e. sub-machine guns - SMGs) as they only generate around 500 joules muzzle energy and cannot meet the range requirement. Second, it excludes the traditional "full power" military rifle/MG cartridges such as the .303", the .30-06, the 7.92x57 and the 7.62x51 NATO (typically firing 10-12g bullets at 750-850 m/s, and developing around 3,000-4,000 joules), as these are so powerful that their recoil is uncontrollable in fully-automatic fire from the shoulder. Assault rifles therefore need to be designed around a cartridge intermediate in power between pistol and full-power rifle rounds; in practice, approximately in the 1,250-2,500j range depending on the calibre.

Large Caliber Ammunition - Types of Projectiles
Projectiles can be broadly classified according to three main types: spin-stabilized, fin-stabilized, and rocket assisted (both fin- and spin-stabilized). Formal military classification is based on the intended use of the projectile and the composition of the explosive charge (i.e., antipersonnel, antitank, and incendiary). Some very significant progress in projectile design has been made in the past few years
