How does a 5.56mm/SAA round work?
On functioning of the weapon the firing pin strikes the primer which is situated in the base of the case. This crushes the priming mixture against the anvil in the primer. The primer composition functions and flashes through to the propellant in the cartridge case, in turn igniting the propellant. The resulting burning produces hot expanding gases which act on the base of the projectile and drive it forward. As the projectile is driven forward, spin is imparted as a result of the external surface of the projectile engaging in the rifling of the barrel. The spin provides stability to the projectile during flight.

How does a tracer round work?
In the case of the tracer projectile, the hot propellant gases, at the same time as propelling the projectile forward, burn through the tracer closure disc at the base of the projectile and causes ignition of the igniter composition/tracer element. This then transfers to the tracer composition which burns with a red flame to provide the firer with a visual trace of the projectile’s trajectory.

What is SLAP-T used in?
M1A1 Abrams AIMTEST subcal training system
** How does API-T work?
The burning propellant gases burn through the tracer closure disc in the base of the projectile, causes ignition of the igniter composition and tracer composition. Upon impact, the incendiary composition ignites by means of adiabatic heating resulting in igniting any flammable materials within tgt area.
** How does 12.7mm MP NM140 work?
- On impact and the commencement of penetration, the nose of the projectile is compressed and the incendiary composition is ignited.
- As the projectile passes through the target, pressure continues to build within the nose and the incendiary composition ignites the HE.
- With increased pressure build up, deflagration turns to detonation, producing blast and fragments.
- The second incendiary charge then ignites and burns for approx. 1 second
