[AKguns]5.57x51mm NATO

I returned to playing Children of a Dead Earth recently, and I noticed something- amongst the available spacecraft guns, the "traditional" firearms cartridges of earth were completely ignored.

Many of these weapons designs have stood the test of hundreds of years, including multiple wars, and no respectable engineer would cast them aside lightly- even when designing a spacecraft-mounted, caseless, linear-actuator-loading super-machine-gun.

So, I dug out a reloading manual, made a few Google searches, and started converting some of my favorites (and other notable cartridges) to work in CoaDE.

Also, since CoaDE explosives and real-world gunpowders (which are often a mix of different explosives!) are distinctly different, none of the explosive charges/grain sizes are going to be realistic. I'm focusing instead on accurate ballistic performance, and minimum overall mass.

All of these are designed as fixed guns, on a BYOT(bring your own turret) basis.
