Nammo Small Caliber Ammunition,
is developed to deliver Maximum Performance.

AMMUNITION
AP – Armor Piercing (US M995 / M993)
increase the war fighters lethality tremendously.
5.56mm AP penetrates 12mm RHA 300HB @
100m, heavy body armor and concrete walls.
7.62mm AP penetrates 18mm RHA 300HB @
100m, heavy body armor and more than 200mm
reinforced concrete at normal battle distancies.

Non Toxic High Performance is 100% Lead

Free and has an improved performance
compared to Standard NATO Ball. Exists in all
three NATO Calibers – both Ball and Tracer.
Nammo has a NATO Qualified Lead Free
ammunition portfolio in full production.

9mm HP – High Performance is a 9x19mm

High Performance cartridge penetrating more
than 50 layer of para-aramid or 3mm steel at
75m. Very suitable for SF units or Police using
Glock, MP-9 and HK MP5.
Also available in Non Toxic version.

IR-Tracer (USMC Mk301 Mod 0) is totally

invisible to the naked eye. Can only be seen with
Night Vision Devices (NVD’s), giving the user
clear advantages as a stealth fighter at night.

RR – Reduced Range has the same perform-

ance as NATO Ball up to a distance of 200 me-
ters, but with a Dmax (Safety Fan) of maximum
1500m. For use in populated sensitive areas,
protection of Dangerous Goods transport-, Air-
port-, Harbour- or Embassies protection.
Excellent for training in restricted areas.

All ammunition types can be linked and used

together in various configurations in all
corresponding NATO weapon systems.
PUNCHING POWER
Servicemen equipped with the Nammo AP–M995 / M993
(5.56mm/7.62mm) and 9mm HP has the highest level of
fire power available on the market today.
AP - ARMOR PIERCING AMMUNITION
Threats on the battlefield are tougher than ever.
The new type of enemy our war fighters are fac-
ing today is very mobile and flexible in the envi-
ronment where the fighting takes place.
An urban terrain created by clay, bricks or con-
crete, streets filled with car wrecks and debrie
provides the enemy with numerous places to
hide or take cover from conventional Small
Arms ammunition.
War fighters using Standard Regular Ball am-
munition have a very small or even none effect
in these targets and Medium caliber weapons,
not always available, might often be brought in
to penetrate the obstacle covering the enemy
fighter – momentum and time is lost.
By using Nammo 5.56mm and 7.62mm AP in
urban terrain you can tremendously increase
the lethality of each single war fighter.
His extreme firepower will easily penetrate the
enemy hideouts no matter if it’s made of con-
crete or steel.
The individual rifleman will also have the abil-
ity to stop enemies/insurgents with heavy body
armor and threatening vehicles by penetrating
body armor and/or vital parts of the vehicle.
Nammo AP, also type classified in US with
designation M995 and M993, have been sold in
large numbers to Governments, Armed Forces,
Federal Agencies and Law Enforcements, who
want their servicemen and women to have the
very best.
ACCURACY WITH POWER
Nammo does also offer the world’s most com-
plete line of precision ammunition for military
and law enforcement purposes.
.338 Lapua Magnum has become the round to
bridge the gap between the 7.62mm and.50 Cal.
It is superb in terms of tactical use offering
much less weight than a light .50 cal system,
but gives great ballistics, accuracy and fire-
power.
The .338 Lapua Magnum AP is really an excel-
lent round, slicing through body-armor with
ease at long ranges.

HIGH TECH TRACERS
NEW TECHNOLOGY
Nammo has a long experience in development
and production of tracer ammunition. Nammo
offers customers both conventional and
Infra Red tracer ammunition with long burning
times, useful for Army, Navy and Aviation who
might need to direct and adjust fire at very long
distances.
IR- [INFRA RED] TRACER/ DIM-TRACER
Today’s combat units are to a grooving extent
using Night Vision Devices [NVD’s] to enable
stealthy night combat operations. This has put
the focus on the need to adopt traditional vis-
ible tracer ammunition to a new operational
scenario.
Nammo has met that need with the develop-
ment of the new 5.56mm and 7.62mm
IR-Tracer.
The latest IR technology adopted in these ca-
libers makes the IR Tracer totally invisible to
the naked eye and solves several operational
combat obstacles, giving the user clear advan-
tages in stealth combat scenarios.
THE IR TRACE:
Not visible for enemies without NVD’s
No tracking of own firing position, reducing
risk of own casualties
No disturbance in own NVD’s
Maintained target location and observation
after opening of fire, maximum hit probability
with a low ammunition usage
No backwards illumination by your own trac-
ers. Prevents enemy equipped with NVD’s to
evaluate your firing position
Reduced muzzle flash
Minimal exposure of own units reducing the
possibility for enemy to judge your numbers or
see the size of attacking force
Short ignition distance
Optimal aiming aid in night combat at
short distances

deposits or dangerous vapours. Costs for solv-
ing these problems are increasing every year
resulting in ranges closing down or less train-
ing time given in existing centers.
With Nammo’s 100% Lead Free ammunition,
[also free from heavy metals in powder and
primer], the absence of these facilities will not
affect the user. Governments’ concerns about
Health & Safety and environmental issues will
not arise nor will future demilitarization prob-
lems with old stocks of leaded ammunition.

SUCCESSFUL DEVELOPMENT
Nammo has for a long time, been working with
development of a lead free improved Standard
ammunition for both Combat and Training, this
to save the Armed Forces logistical problems
when going from training directly to missions.
The successful work was finalized year 2000
and Nammo started a full serial production of
5.56mm and 7.62mm Ball and Tracer.

 REDUCED RANGE
COMBAT AND TRAINING AMMUNITION

NEW TECHNOLOGY

The demands on training grounds become
tougher and tougher. The three main change
drivers for the training ranges are environ-
ment, health and safety and the increased land
needs.
More people and housing becoming neighbours
to shooting ranges, causing conflicts with ex-
isting safety regulations.
Nammo’s answer to this growing problem
is the 100% lead free 5.56mm and 7.62mm
RR Ammunition, which has full combat per-
formance and matched trajectory against
NATO Ball up to 200 meters, but a safety fan
of only 1500 meters for 5.56mm and 7.62mm.
Practice realistically combat scenarios with
right battle technique from moving platforms at
the range, i.e. 360° / 6400 mills firing directions
from APC, HUMVEE or Helicopter.
Open new ways to practice as a unit. Train sev-
eral units at the ranges simultaneously.
Use live ammunition in politically sensitive
populated areas.
Nammo RR projectile is solid and will not frag-
ment in the body at impact if there’s an acci-
dental wound fired at the range, which will re-
live medical treatment.
