There is no such thing as a NATO bullet per se. It is not a unique caliber or different powder load, and it is not made to fit a "NATO" rifle. NATO came together as an alliance and chose to select a set of standards that allowed the armed forces of the countries represented in NATO to function as one force.

Should You Daily Carry A Surplus Pistol?

Even though I love surplus firearms and mil-surp, I feel that the name is a little misleading. Surplus sounds like old raggedy handguns or rifles filled with loose nuts and bolts that you are going to have to work on or rebuild. That is so far from the truth though!

AK-47 Draco - What Is A Draco?

Latin for serpent or dragon, the Draco was clearly inspired by the AK-47 rifle.

First, it's easy to suppress because it can use subsonic rounds. Second, it's versatile because it can reliably fire both supersonic and subsonic loads that allow shooters to switch at will. Lastly, the cartridge can work from a superbly short barrel.
