In the decades following the close of the War, Western powers examined the intermediate calibers seen in the German StG44 and the later Soviet AK. Ultimately, several influential nations were determined to move to a caliber smaller than either the existing 7.62 × 51 mm NATO or Soviet 7.62 × 39 mm ammunition. In the United States, the outcome of the development process took the form of the .223 Remington (later 5.56 × 45 mm) cartridge and its attendant host rifle, the Armalite AR-15, which would be adopted by the U.S. military in 1964 as the M16.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eThis Second Volume of \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eVickers Guide: Kalashnikov\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e covers the developmental history of the AK-74 – the Soviet Union’s answer to the U.S. M16 service rifle. Traditional Soviet and Warsaw Pact AK-74 variants chambered for the 5.45 × 39 mm cartridge are highlighted, as well as subsequent variants, adaptations, and modifications from around the world. The book also charts the course of the 5.56 mm cartridge in the AK-74 platform, examining the efforts of nations such as Bulgaria, Burma, the Czech Republic, East Germany, Finland, Israel, Poland, and South Africa to convert the quintessentially Soviet AK platform to a NATO-standard caliber.
