The ".450 Phoenix" (aka ".45 Caliber Rifle" aka "11mm".) was developed by Phoenix Dynamix in late 2003 for the AR-22 Series of High Powered Weapons. Today, many other military and civilian firearms utilize the .450 Phoenix and it is the standard round for a number of nations' militaries. There are both brass cased, and caseless cartridges available. At 11.45X75mm, the .450 Phoenix is slightly longer, thinner and much "sharper" than the .450 Ackley Magnum which is the only other known true .450 round (.450 Marlin is actually .458) Popular bullet types for this round include include incendiary, hollow point, full metal jacket and teflon coated armor piercing. Training, explosive, low-velocity, soft-point and rubber bullets also exist.
