Ready, aim, fire!
Ammunition and magazines for an M-16A2 lay on a bench at the Combat Arms Training and Maintenance range on Barksdale Air Force Base, La., Aug 18. In 1970, NATO attempted to standardize a common rifle and secondary rifle caliber to allow member nations to share rifle ammunition and magazines during military operations. As of 2009, there are five NATO nominated weapons that use the 5.56 ammunition design; the M-16A2 is one of the five. (U.S. Air Force photo/Airman 1st Class Micaiah Anthony)(RELEASED)
