Are there any interesting non AK pattern 5.45 rifles?

>best?
Probably an arsenal slr or saiga sgl polymer stocked rifle. Pick whether you want better sling points or a side-folder stock.
>able to take the most punishment?
A vepr sporter.

Well 5.45 and 5.56 are actually real similar according to some tests I dug up. For a bug out situation 5.56 win the availability test. I'm going to look up those tests. They were gel tests and both had similar range and cavitation the only difference was that the 5.56 was faster but not by much, and the 5.45 tended to keyhole in some cases whereas the 5.56 would fragment more often than not.

This is what I would expect, if you can find some good comparisons I'd be interested though.

Thought these were cross sections of /k/ approved fleshlights

Is deeper penetration more lethal in any way?
>>33319762
Depends on how much.
Cavitation in the air behind a guy tends not to hurt so much. You tend to want that shit done before it exists the body. That's why 7.62x39 is dildoes against unarmored targets in the open.
