7.62x51mm NATO (no ontology)
From Mazeworld
The 7.62x51mm NATO (also known as .308 Winchester or 7.62 NATO) is a large rifle caliber developed in 1954, and suited for battle rifles, sniper rifles, and in belted form, machine guns.
It is quite a powerful round, with whoever being on the wrong end of such a bullet may be facing quite some trouble. Its power, fame, and the kind of weapons it can be used in made the reputation of the 7.62 NATO. In Mazeworld, it is considered a high-tier caliber.
Real-life data
Technically speaking, the military 7.62x51mm NATO and the civilian .308 Winchester are roughly identical, and any can be fired in any .308 Win/7.62 NATO weapon.
Its ballistic performance is close to its World War II cousin it replaced, the .30-06 Springfield, making it a favorite of veterans used to the old round. Introduced in 1954 with the famous M14 rifle (which replaced its legendary .30-06 cousin, the M1 Garand) and the no less famous M60 machine gun, the 7.62x51mm NATO round enjoyed and still enjoys popularity, as it is still a widely used round.
Primarily intended as a main infantry round to be used in battle rifles, it was then superseded by the 5.56x45mm NATO with the advent of assault rifles. It has found a second life with sniper rifles, such as the Heckler & Koch PSG-1, and the modernized version of the M14, the M14 EBR, and still sees widespread use as a light machine gun round, still used in the many variants of the M60 machine gun.
