Well depends, balistic charts shows that the 7.62x39mm has more energy then the 5.56x45mm when coming out of the barrel but the 5.56x45mm is lighter and faster so eventually in like 300 yards the 7.62x39 is inferior to the 5.56x45 since the projectile weight is almost twice as heavy.

But in r2da, all fights with the 5.56x45mm and the 7.62x39mm are under 300 yards so you're correct on that point, at that distance 7.62x39mm should be stronger. Exactly! The 5.56x45mm is lighter and theoretically if im correct, has a flatter trajectory than the 7.62x39mm Soviet. The 5.56x45mm therefore is a much viable option at range. The AK-47 in r2da has more range than the M16.

But then we got 7.62x39mm Soviet rounds on the AK can does the damage of a 9x19mm Parabellum, even at close range.
