.223/5.56x45–LPSP
.223/5.56x45 – LPSP
Limited Penetration Solid Point
.223/5.56x45 - LPSP.
Limited Penetration Solid Point.
No plastic tips to contaminate the target
or hinder barrier penetration. The bullet
on impact with a hard target will lose
10% of its mass but still retain trajectory.
A solid closed tip, 2 piece projectile,
designed to offer reliable penetration.
Primarily for lightly protected targets,
with the ability to punch through
glass and barriers and retain
mass but still offer some
degree of expansion.
