Point of info - what you're using shoots the 7.62mm x 39mm round. The 7.62mm NATO round is 7.62x*51*mm. Considerably more powerful.
Which means mine has even a lower muzzle velocity. I do like the low recoil the guns design offers. Virtually none, actually.
I'm no gun nut so I gotta ask, what ever happened to the .226 (I think)? Wasn't that basically a .22 with a pointier bullet and a couple of lbs of gunpowder in each cartridge? ;) I heard the deadly part was the muzzle velocity.
