| Description: | Standard military 9mm ball ammunition. Also approved for use in other 9mm pistols and submachine guns. |
| Caliber: | 9 x 19mm NATO |
| Projectile Mass: | 8.00 g (124 gr) |
| Muzzle Velocity: | 341.4 ± 3.0 m/sec (1120 ± 10 fps) |
| Muzzle Energy: | 467.8 J (345 ft.lbs) |
| Compatible Weapons : | Beretta M9, H&K MP5 Navy, H&K MP5 PDW, IMI Mini Uzi |
| Description: | Considered by many to be the best hollow point in the world, the Hydra-Shok is standard with hundreds of police forces, security agencies, and private citizens. The most unusual aspect of the Hydra-Shok bullet design is the little lead post which sits at the base of the hollow point. When the bullet comes in contact with a soft medium, such as ballistic gelatin or internal organs, the post directs fluid against the inside of the hollow point, forcing it to expand reliably. But when the bullet strikes a hard surface such as a barrier, the post helps keep the nose from getting clogged up, which would otherwise limit expansion once the barrier had been penetrated. |
| Caliber: | 9 x 19mm NATO |
| Projectile Mass: | 10.24 g (158 gr) |
| Muzzle Velocity: | 285.0 m/sec (935 fps)> |

| Muzzle Energy: | >459.6 J (339 ft.lbs) |
| Compatible Weapons : | Beretta M9, H&K MP5 Navy, H&K MP5 PDW, IMI Mini Uzi |
| Description: | Comparable to standard ball ammunition with the added benefit of illuminating the trajectory when fired, Hornady's Vector ammunition is probably the most expensive training ammunition you can purchase. Ballistically however the Vector bullet is far superior to conventional military tracer rounds. By using far less tracer composition and inserting it along the axis of the bullet rather than in the base, stability (and consequently accuracy) is much more constant through bullet flight. |
5.7 x 28mm
| Caliber: | 5.7 x 28mm |
| Projectile Mass: | 2.00 g (31 gr) |
| Muzzle Velocity: | 714.8 m/sec (2345 fps) |

| Compatible Weapons : | >FN Five-seveN, FN P90 |
| Description: | The 5.7x28mm cartridge was developed in the mid-1980s by FN Herstal for their P90 Personal Defense Weapon. The objective was to produce a new generation close defense weapon system for users who cannot normally carry any weapon other than a pistol but who require something more powerful than the usual 9mm NATO cartridge. The SS190 bullet will penetrate a standard M1 steel helmet at 150m range and 48 layers of Kevlar at over 50m. The stopping power is claimed to be three times that of the 9mm NATO; the bullet does not fragment but gives up its energy very rapidly on impact. The round is effective up to a range of 150m. |

| Compatible Weapons : | H&K G11 |
| Description: | A very unconventional ammunition round, the DM11 features a streamlined bullet set into a hard block of denatured hexogen. A percussion primer and booster charge sits behind the bullet. When ignited, the primer sets off the booster charge, propelling the bullet forward. This ensures the bullet is fully seated in the rifling when the main propellant begins burning, preventing a leak of gas around the bullet and ensuring consistent and uniform chamber pressures from round to round. Comparable in performance to the 5.56mm NATO, the DM11 will penetrate 6mm of mild steel at 300m. |

| Compatible Weapons : | Arsenal AKMSU |
| Description: | Soviet development of an intermediate cartridge had begun in the 1930's, parallel to work being done in Finland, Germany, and Switzerland. Suspended in 1939 and spurred on likely because of the development of the German 7.92x33mm Kurz cartridge, the 7.62x39mm was approved for use in 1943 and made its official military debut in 1945 with the SKS carbine. It is the most popular small arms cartridge in the Eastern world, not having been supplanted by the 5.45x39.5mm cartridge to the same degree as the 5.56mm NATO cartridge in the West. The Czechoslovak M43 cartridge modeled here differs from its Russian equivalent by using a lead core rather than a mild steel one. |
