5,56x45 NATO TRACER

4.1 g / 63 gr

The 5.56x45 NATO Tracer is the standard tactical military tracer cartridge for the NATO alliance and its partners. Its compatibility with all NATO firearms is therefore guaranteed. Accordingly, the cartridge can be used for mission scenarios and in training. The bullet itself consists of several components: jacket, lead core, pyrotechnic charges and a cap. It has a dark tracer that conceals the shooter’s position. The visible tracer begins at a range of 13 m to 140 m and illuminates up to a distance of at least 600 m. The cartridge is suitable for use in the most adverse environments and under the harshest climatic conditions in a temperature range from -54°C to +52°C. It is also fully compliant with AEP-97 (M-CMOPI).
