yeah. same with why the magazines were orange, its just the materials they used for them. the stripe also indicates if its AP or regular ammo (or a tracer)

Russians designed it for anus comfort not ballistics

That's just the color of the metal. Here's some steel case 5.45mm.

5.56 can go farther

5.56 is better at AP, but 5.45 is better for soft tissue

Skip to 4:14. You'll see how much the bullet tumbles, a lot of yawing. Very bad for soft tissue and organs.
