How does a 5.56mm round work?
- On functioning, firing pin strikes primer
- Priming mixture crushed against the anvil. the composition flashes through to the cart case and ignites the propellant.
- The resulting burn creates produces hot gases
- Act on the projectile and drive it forward
- As projectile is driven forward, spin is imparted by the rifling of the barrel. The spin provide stability in flight.
- On impact with the target the strength of the steel nose combined with the mass of the lead core, and the overall projectile velocity, provide a penetration capability.

What is SLAP-T used in?
M1A1 Abrams AIMTEST training barrel
How does API-T work?
- Upon impact and/or penetrating a hard steel target at high velocity,
- the incendiary composition ignites by means of adiabatic heating (due to the compression of the projectile nose)
- igniting any present flammable materials within the targeted area.
How does 12.7mm MP NM140 work?
Upon impact with an armoured or hard target target at high velocity,
the nose is compressed ad ignites the incendiary.
-As the projectile passes through the target, pressure continues to build within the nose and the incendiary composition ignites the HE. Deflagration turns to detonation, causing blast and fragments.
The second incendiary charge then burns for approximately one second.
