SMALL CALIBER AMMUNITIONMAKING NATO CALIBERSMORE EFFECTIVE AND SAFEThe basic principles of small arms ammunition havenot changed for over a century, but that doesn’t meaninnovation has stopped. The industry is continuouslyexploring ways to evolve small caliber ammunition –such as 5.56 mm and 7.62 mm – including the use ofnew materials that improve performance, reduce costPhoto: Norwegian Armed Forces / Henrik Røyneand even address environmental concerns.www.nammo.com10globalsales@nammo.com

SMALL CALIBER AMMUNITIONWhether you are in the armed forces or are a military enthusiast, most people arefamiliar with 5.56 mm and 7.62 mm rifle and machine gun ammunition.These legendary rounds – standard across the NATO alliance and elsewhere –have been fired by soldiers in combat around the world for decades, mostrecently in regions such as Iraq and Afghanistan.Despite some criticism of these calibers in recent years, as well as theintroduction of future ammunition types such as the US Army’s 6.8 mmintermediate round (designed for the Next Generation Squad Weapon), the5.56 mm and 7.62 mm rounds will likely remain the preferred solutions formost NATO and other Western allied forces for the foreseeable future.With this in mind, the industry continues to ensure that NATO-standardsmall arms ammunition remains effective and relevant in today’soperating environments.“Ammunition principles have been the same for 150 years, so what we are doingis tuning and improving,” said Fredrik Erninge, Nammo’s Product Director ofSmall Caliber Ammunition. “Over the last 10 years, we have been able to makeour ammunition more efficient, cheaper and more environmentally friendly.“Making the ammunition more environmentally friendly is really a hot topic,”he added.Removing lead from bullets is seen as being particularly important, owing to itsharmful environmental effects. Lead has traditionally been used for the projectile’score, while its outer “jacket” is made of a harder metal such as copper. This isoften referred to as full metal jacket, or ball, ammunition.Recognizing the effect on the environment and the soldiers that fire them, Nammohas been striving for two decades to remove lead from its products. “Due tocustomer requirements from the Scandinavian countries, we were very early indeveloping lead-free alternatives – but it’s a topic that never ends,” said Erninge.This is especially true with the European Union’s strict REACH regulations, whichin 2018 identified lead as a substance of very high concern. Copper (and its harderalloy, brass) can also cause harm to the environment, and there are similar effortsto reduce the use of this as well.In terms of effectiveness, Nammo has also expanded its range of armor piercing(AP) ammunition across its small caliber portfolio. The company utilizes materialssuch as tungsten carbide, a compound of tungsten and carbon, which is extremelyhard and offers significant penetration capabilities against body armor and lightlyarmored vehicles. Nammo has supplied the US Army with AP 5.56 mm and7.62 mm rounds since the 1990s.Nammo is also looking into lightweight polymer materials that could replace brasscartridges, which are beneficial for the individual soldier in terms of lighteningthe load as well as logistically for transporting ammunition boxes. Nammo is nowpursuing this technology further through its investment in MAC LLC.www.nammo.com11globalsales@nammo.com
