Greenshield® – 5.56mm (45 grains)
Product Information
Greenshield® are truly frangible, lead-free, full-energy training ammunition, designed to reduce health and safety hazards by eliminating exposure to lead and other heavy metals. The bullets are composed of a patented, copper-tin-polymer compound and do not require a jacket, so splash back and ricochet dangers are virtually eliminated – the projectiles disintegrate into powder upon impact with a hard surface (steel target or backstop material).
Greenshield® frangible cartridges deliver equivalent accuracy and ballistic match with service ammunition out to tactical ranges, and function without any weapon modifications. The environmentally-friendly rounds generate similar recoil and noise levels to duty ammunition and are available in 9 mm and 5.56 mm calibres for training on indoor and outdoor ranges as well as in MOUT and FIBUA environments.
These lethal cartridges are not to be fired at personnel.
