The DM11A1 cartridge is a low-emission tactical cartridge in 5.56x45 calibre, which is specially engineered for the requirements of the German Armed Forces. The cartridge was engineered according to their technical requirements and is therefore intended for firearms used by the German Armed Forces in this calibre. It is equally compatible with semi-automatic and fully automatic firearms. The bullet design corresponds to the SS109 and M855 bullet types and consists of two bullet cores with a tail cover, with a hardened steel front core and a lead rear core. To reduce emissions, the bullet is fully encapsulated and the cartridge is equipped with a SINTOX primer.
