Rifle Ammunition for Armed Forces Calibre 5.56 x 45 Calibre 7.62 x
Rifle Ammunition for Armed Forces Calibre 5.56 x 45 Calibre 7.62 x 51 Calibre 12.7 x 99 RUAG – Infantry Ammunition In the calibre 5.56 x 45 RUAG Ammotec has many years of These versatile cartridges can effectively be used in various experience as a supplier for the Swiss army. Worldrenowned missions, from single accuracy fire from snipers to rapid fire from as one of the most accurate rifle cartridges available, the Gw fully automatic weapons. Ammotec has worked intensely to Pat 90 has formed the basis of the RUAG Ammotec’s latest develop a full range of 12.7 x 99 rounds. Whether used for advancements. Modern warfare has shown, that the current training purposes in a confined space, or for highly accurate operations call for increased power and accuracy to one long range shooting from long distances, all RUAG cartridges are kilometre. The NATO 7.62 x 51 ammunition which offers designed for accurate, repeatable performance, even under accurate firepower in a relatively compact weapons system. extreme operating conditions. 5.56 x 45 7.62 x 51 12.7 x 99 100 m 500 m 1000 m 2000 m Typical Effective Range A Culture of Precision RUAG’s excellence is based upon 150 year history of producing Case Formation high quality infantry ammunition. The experiences gained from A cartridge which must ensure an absolutely reliable function in a generations of expertise and attention to detail have become a great variety of different weapons and in various climates requires part of the RUAG culture and have seamlessly been integrated a case of the highest quality. Long shelf live depends significantly into today’s modern manufacturing processes. This knowledge, on the quality of the case and its sealing. coupled with the selection of the purest materials, form the foundation of developing a high quality cartridge. An advanced understand of simulation and modeling software allows RUAG Projectile Manufacturing engineers to optimise these elements in producing an ideal round. The most critical element of a jacketed bullet is to have the lead core completely and uniformly encased by the highest quality RUAG cartridges are: covering possible. RUAG’s advanced coupling techniques ensures • manufactured to meet extremely close tolerances the core and the jacket are perfectly joined, preventing and • individually inspected ensure the quality and unwanted variances, and maintain balance. Strict metallurgical consistency of key parameters controls ensure the proper ductility and formability of the lead, • include optimally matched components minimizing inaccuracies, and maintaining performance of the • completely sealed and waterproof for infantry applications projectile. Final Assembly and Quality Control After the perfectly formed components are exactingly assembled into the completed cartridge, each batch is tested to ensure between round consistency based upon the unique firing capabilities of the weapon. In addition, every round is carefully inspected, ensuring the quality and consistency of the primer and powder. Formation of a cartridge 5.56 x 45 – Dual-Core for Maximum Power RUAG Ammotec produces the most accurate infantry cartridges in the world. High quality standards ensure excellent reliability and dependability that meet or exceed NATO guidelines. Gunners can fully depend on their ammunition in any operating environment.

This may lead to hazardous RUAG has addressed this issue since 1928 with the invention overexposure. SINTOXv is a further development of the SINOXID- of the most reliable, corrosion-free SINOXID-primer. However technology, providing the same undisputed reliability, but heavy standard primers contain lead styphenate, which shooters can get metal-free. • Excellent stability in critical storage conditions 5.56 x 45 LF FMJ SX • Over 20 years successful on the market FMJ bullet with a Cu-Zn alloy core and jacket. • Free of toxic heavy metals • Good accuracy • Consistent shooting characteristics • Highly reliable even under extreme weather conditions • Latest lead free technology design Lead, barium and antimony free 5.56 x 45 – Blank Ammunition for Combat Simulation A key element of basic solider training around the world has Laser sensors provided by RUAG Defence can detect laser been machine gun and assault rifle battle simulation using blank signals transmitted along the firing axis, collecting hit results, and cartridges. The Blank Firing Attachment (BFA) seals the barrel indicating injuries with audible signals. The simulated battle can at the muzzle to control gas pressure and ensure recoil of the be extended to the brigade level, and may even include the use weapons function accurately and safely. In addition, it prevents of mechanised infantry troops and their vehicles.
