DPMS Panther Mini SASS Semi Automatic Rifle .223 Remington/5.56x45mm NATO 18" Stainless Steel Fluted Heavy Barrel 30 Rounds Black Magpul PRS Buttstock Black FinishThe DPMS Panther Mini SASS rifle is a smaller .223/5.56x45mm version of the full size Panther LRT-SASS (.308 Win./7.62x51mm). The original DPMS SASS rifle was designed to meet the needs of snipers who needed a single, high capacity rifle that is just as effective and useful for long range shots as it is for CQB scenarios. The Mini SASS is just a smaller caliber version of the original. Comes with a 30 round magazine, one Harris Swivel Series bipod, one Fobus bipod adapter, and one nylon web sling.

The 5.56X45mm NATO cartridge was designed by James Sullivan, a member of Eugene Stoner's engineering team that developed both the M16 rifle and its original cartridge. The 5.56X45mm NATO was adopted by the U.S. military in 1964 and by NATO in 1980. With bullet diameter of .224-inch, the original M193 military cartridge used a 55-grain bullet at 3250 fps; the current M855A1 cartridge, developed by FN, uses a 62.5-grain bullet at 3020 fps, offering greater range and better penetration. The civilian version of the 5.56X45mm is 223 Remington; the cartridges are dimensionally identical but military chamber dimensions and specifications for military brass are different. It is considered safe to use 223 Remington ammo in a 5.56X45MM NATO chamber, but not a good idea to use 5.56X45mm ammo in a rifle specifically chambered for the 223 Remington. Although the stopping power of .22-caliber bullets remains controversial the 5.56X45mm has served well in now multiple generations of M16 rifles. — Craig Boddington
