Military Potential Test of Short Range Cartridges, 5.56-mm Ball, 7.62-mm Ball, and 7.62-mm Tracer.
Abstract
The military potential test of the short-range 5.56-mm ball, and 7.62-mm tracer cartridges was conducted. The objectives of the test were to determine the safety of the cartridges when fired from the M14 and M16A1 rifles and the M60 machine gun, and to compare cartridge characteristics and performance with that stated in the descriptive brochure. The cartridges with their short-range capability were designed for the training of military troops. The test cartridges differed statistically from values given in the manufacturer's brochure in cartridge weight, projectile weight, propellant weight, cartridge length, and projectile length.
