What is 30-06 ammunition?
it's comparable to a 7.62 NATO round, just a little bit longer.
What is the chamber pressure of the M-4 rifle?
430 MPa (62,366 psi) for NATO standard 5.56 ammunition. This is what is required of all NATO test barrels, which are measured at the mouth of the casing.
What kind of bullet does the AR-15 use?
5.56x45mm NATO or .223 Remington. They are dimensionally similar rounds, but they are not the same. Some AR-15 rifles have smaller throats than others. If it is too small, you'll only be able to fire .223 Remington ammunition in the firearm, as the area of the throat will be too small to accommodate the higher pressures generated by firing 5.56 NATO ammunition. If the throat is reamed properly, you should be able to fire both types of ammunition in the weapon. There's no way to tell just by looking. If you try to fire 5.56 NATO ammunition in your AR and the primer pops out of the spent casing (in a best case scenario), get a 5.56 reamer (they're around $240). The reamer will widen the throat to accommodate the hotter 5.56 NATO ammunition.
What caliber of gun will use Ammunition with head stamp rg 50?
POSSIBLY- and this is a stab in the dark- 7.62 NATO- similar to the civilian .308 Winchester. RG is a headstamo used by the Radway Green ammunition plant in Britain. In 1950, the standard rifle used the 7.62 NATO cartridge. Again, just a guess.
What is the difference between 9mm NATO and 9mm lugar ammunition?
None to really speak of. They are, for the most part, one and the same. The 9mm NATO is merely a variant of the 9mm Luger loaded for military specifications.

Without question, the .22.
What is a 5.56 x 45 NATO ammunition?
5.56x45 is the ammunition originally developed for the M16 rifle. Many people mistakenly claim it is the same as .223 Remington ammunition, although this is not true - while the dimensions are similar, neck angles and other measurements differ between the two cartridges. In the late 1970s, after the US had announced that troops stationed in Europe would be equipped with M16 rifles, NATO sought a cartridge to make standard amongst their forces, in order for there to be cross compatability between NATO military forces. The weight of the 5.56x45 projectile was increased from 55 to 62 grains.

Are 7.65 rifle cartridge and and 308 be fired from the same rifle?
When speaking of ammunition it is imperative to be precise with your numbers. The .308 Winchester is interchangable with the 7.62 NATO military round
Is 5.56 NATO ammo the same as .308 caliber?
No, 5.56 mm NATO ammunition is .223 caliber (having been developed from the Remington .223--originally the Remington .222 Special). Ammunition of .308 caliber is 7.62 mm, a larger NATO round, common to the M1 rifle and the M60 machine gun. There were a number of NATO nations at the height of the cold war that used 7.62 ammo for infantry weapons, the HK (Heckler & Koch) G3--manufactured in Germany--was primary among these. The G3 is still in production and there are many variants still in use today by NATO troops and the armies of other nations. Note that, while 5.56x45 ammo is dimensionally similar to .223 Remington, and 7.62x51 ammo is dimensionally similar to .308 Winchester, in both cases, the rounds are not entirely identical, and vary in areas such as neck angles. 5.56x45 ammunition should not be used in a dedicated .223 barrel.
