The external dimensions are the same. The projectile itself is different. It's heavier and a steel core. It penetrates better and has a longer effective range.
The SAW and M16A2 barrels are rifled to use the new round. They can use the old round, like the M16A1 can use the new round, but accuracy is lower.

I never said it wasn't accurate. I have an AR-15 and it's damn accurate.
The light bullet *IS* unstable. Hit a leaf with one and off it goes. It's not as lethal as a.30 caliber round, but it's not supposed to be.
Penetration is not lethality. Granted, you have to penetrate to kill, but LESS penetration is better. A jacketed round will often pass right through, doing minimal damage. A soft nose round will mushroom, transfering more force into the body and making a hole big enough to throw a cat through.
The slightly longer and heavier American M855 bullet shot from the M16A2 assault rifle is replacing the M193 bullet shot from the M16A1 as the standard bullet of the US armed forces. FN Herstal originally developed this bullet type [which has a steel penetrator" as the forward part of its core] designating its bullet the SS109. The wound profile is very similar to that produced by the M 193 bullet.
Although the SS109 and M855 are not the same bullet, their differences are small and one almost needs a magnifying glass and a side-by-side comparison to differentiate the two. There is little difference in their performance in tissue. The abdominal and thigh wound produced by the M855 or the SS109 bullets would essentially be the same as those described above for the M16A1 M193 bullet.
The longer 5,56mm bullets [M855, SS109] need a higher relational velocity to maintain stabilization in air. FN claimed that this faster rotation also causes the SS109 to have a significantly longer path in tissue before marked yaw occurs, thus producing wounds of less severity. This is simply untrue. Additional rotation beyond that needed to keep the bullet straight in air appears to have little or no effect on the projectile's behaviour in tissue.
However, there is a situation concerning rotation rates whereby these longer 5,56mm bullets can cause increased wound severity. Shooting the SS109 or M855 in the older M16A1 rifle [they are not intended for use in this 1-in-12in. twist barrel, but iii the newer l-in-7in, twist] produces a bullet spin rate insufficient to stabilise the longer bullets. Such a bullet will yaw up to 70 degrees in its path through air. Striking at this high yaw angle [essentially travelling sideways], these bullets break on contact and the marked fragmentation, acting in synergy with the temporary cavity stretch, causes a large [over 15cm] stellate wound with the loss of considerable tissue.

If you use mil-spec document distruction, pretty much never. In the Army, we used a shredder that produced bits that were 1x2mm. Hard to put together dust.
If that shredder was down (it jammed a lot, the teeth had to be very close together), we burned the docs, mixed the ashes with water and flushed the dirty water.
Do you know anything about radios or transmission antennas?
Well, let's see:
I am an Amateur Radio Operator. I have made 2m contact with the space shuttle, from in my car. I have worked several states with a friends moon bounce setup.
I used to be a tactical satellite operator in the US Army.
-empty space doesn't absorb radio energy
Who told you that? Are you saying, it takes the same amount of power to transmit to the moon as it does to mars?
-a focused beam doesn't disperse over distance like an omnidirectional transmission
It doesn't disperse AS MUCH, you mean. GPS receivers have to be omnidirectional.
-you can use a more powerful transmitter to make a stronger signal (SHOCK!)
GPS satellites are tiny and pretty low power. They have to be.
I'm going to take wild leap here and assume you haven't read about the Thuraya satellite phones
The thuraya satellite weighs 5200lbs and has an antenna 50ft wide. A bit bigger than a GPS satellite.
LEO sats are about 300 miles up. Geo sats are ~25000 miles away. One (very important) variable relating to signal strenght is distance. Why the fuck do you think they put them so low?
As to Escape Velocity, here is some crap I found in about 10 seconds:
If the kinetic energy of an object launched from the Earth were equal in magnitude to the potential energy, then in the absence of friction resistance it could escape from the Earth.
Escape velocity is defined to be the minimum velocity an object must have in order to escape the gravitational field of the earth, that is, escape the earth without ever falling back.
The object must have greater energy than its gravitational binding energy to escape the earth's gravitational field. So:
1/2 mv2 = GMm/R
Where m is the mass of the object, M mass of the earth, G is the gravitational constant, R is the radius of the earth, and v is the escape velocity. It simplifies to:
v = sqrt(2GM/R)
or
v = sqrt(2gR)
Where g is acceleration of gravity on the earth's surface.
The value evaluates to be approximately:
11100 m/s 40200 km/h 25000 mi/h
So, an object which has this velocity at the surface of the earth, will totally escape the earth's gravitational field (ignoring the losses due to the atmosphere.) It is all there is to it.
scape velocity is defined as the smallest speed that we need to give an object in order to allow it to completely escape from the gravitational pull of the planet on which it is sitting. To calculate it we need only realize that as an object moves away from the center of a planet, its kinetic energy gets converted into gravitational potential energy. Thus we need only figure out how much gravitational potential energy an object gains as it moves from the surface of the planet off to infinity. According to the above discussion for a planet with mass M and radius R, this gain in gravitational potential energy is GmM/R. For an object to just barely escape to infinity (without any residual speed), all its initial kinetic energy must go into this increase in gravitational potential energy. Thus, the initial kinetic energy must be equal to GmM/R. Since kinetic energy is mv2/2, equating these two expressions tells us that the square of the initial velocity must be equal to twice the gravitational potential energy divided the inertial mass of the object. However, since gravitational potential energy is proportional to inertial mass, we find finally that the square of the escape velocity depends only on the mass and radius of the planet (and of course Newton's gravitational constant) Note that the inertial mass of the object has cancelled, so that the escape velocity of any object is independent of its mass. This means that if you want to throw a grain of rice or an elephant into outer space, you need to give them both the same initial velocity which for the Earch works out to be about 10,000 meters per second.

You are an evil, disgusting pervert. I like that.

That's good. I'll have to remember that one.
Money well spent. Plus, I get to demand of the a-hole calling "HOW DID YOU GET THIS UNLISTED NUMBER?", especially if they also know my name.
Then I demand they put me on *their* don't-call list.
Yes, I have heard the whine that "It's just their job". Piss on that, let `em do something more honorable, like crack dealer, hooker or lawyer...

Take a DVD drive that was designed long before there were recordable formats and see which it reads better.
If I see one for $5 at a garage sale I will remember that.
DVD+R/RW is a proprietary patented format invented by Sony corporation to push DVD FORUM's DVD-R specification out of the market.
SONY invented DVD+R? i guess we're back to the original "beta" comment.
I guess I will break down and pick up an $135 DV-R drive then. If DVD-R loses in the end, I will just move my stuff to the (by then) new 1TB disks...

IIRC, the light 5.56mm slug is unstable, and tumbles when it hits an object. It spins in the body like a circular saw.
The new, heavier round used with the M16A2 is more stable, hits and penetrates better, but is less lethal.
I want a derringer that fires .50 AE.
If you are going to carry a derringer, you might as well buy one that shoots through schools...
For the explosion? I once saw an idiot 2Lt dump a box of 1x2mm document shreds into a blazing burn barrel.
Tiny bits of paper + oxygen + hot flame = Lots of fun (if you're not too close).
