About the ammo:
Originally developed for the US Navy & US Marine Corps, MK311 is a reduced ricochet limited penetration round which is loaded with a 50gr frangible bullet, identified by a grey tip. The projectile is made of a lead-free powder matrix, wrapped in a gilding metal jacket. This makes it ideal for training at ranges with limited backstops and as a close quarters defense round to reduce risk of over-penetration.
5.56mm MK311 Frangible Ammunition, better known by its ordnance code, "AA40", is loaded with a 50-grain frangible bullet comprised of a non-toxic, copper and tungsten powder matrix in a gilding metal jacket. The frangible ammunition is designed to disintegrate into small fragments on impact, minimizing over-penetration and ricochet hazards. The polymer compound round produces limited splash back, which vastly decreases ricochets, making it ideal for training applications.
