New Ammunition Type 5.56mm Fleschette

The 5.56mm Fleschette has a simple, cylindrically shaped plastic case. The fleschette, or dart, is totally enclosed in the case. Fleschette diameter is about 1.5 mm (.06 inch), the length is about 41 mm (1.6 inch), and the weight is 0.66 gramm (10 grains). The dart is partially enclosed into discarding sabot, and leaves the muzzle at the impressive velocity of 1450 meters per second (4750 fps), and retaining a velocity of 910 m/s (2980 fps) at the range of 600 meters. The plastic case has no rim or extracting groove, and priming compound is located on the inside wall of the case.

Due to extremely high projectile velocity, flight time was very short at any practical ranges, and trajectory was wery flat, giving the shooter almost ray-gun performance, which allowed to fire withouth prior calculations of point of impact - speaking simply, at any practical combat ranges shooter will hit where it aimed, regardless of the target movements (projectile flight time to the target at 300 meters is about 0.2 seconds). Due to high velocity, the ACR had good killing power and armour piercing capablities, and due to the low weight of the projectile recoil was low.
