History of 5.45x39 Ammo
Introduced to the Soviet Army in the early 70s, the 5.45x39mm was created in response to the 5.56x45mm NATO. This cartridge reduced ammunition weight (meaning soldiers could carry more ammo into battle without increasing the overall weight) and recoil impact (less recoil so soldiers can quickly get back on target.
The AK-74 automatic rifle and its ammunition saw its first wartime use by the Soviet Union in Afghanistan during the Soviet-Afghan War, which lasted from 1979 through 1989. Since then, the firearm and ammunition have been used in all post-Soviet Union conflicts Russia has been involved in. Moreover, almost all the countries once part of the Soviet Union use the AK-74 and the 5.45x39mm cartridge in their Armed Forces.
