The overall objective of All-Purpose Tactical Cartridge is to deliver Ball and Tracer ammunition that replaces and improves current legacy .50 caliber ammunition. The All-Purpose Tactical Cartridge will be compatible with all Army .50 caliber weapons but specifically optimized to work in the M2 Machine Guns.
