Bofors Carl Gustaf's range of ammunition covers
5.56 to 12.7 mm caliber's. Special ammunitions, such as AP (armor piercing
ammunition) and tracer ammunition are produced in caliber's 5.56 and 7.62
mm. The 9 mm HP (high performance ammunition) is a standard type of ammunition

ARMOR PIERCING AMMUNITION
The Department of Defense of the United States
has acquired large quantities of 5.56 AP (armor-piercing) ammunition, designated
XM995 as well as 7.62 ammunition, designated XM993. The AP ammunition
produced by Bofors Carl Gustaf is extremely effective, even when the impact
angle is less than 90. The picture shows the AP ammunition that has been
linked to tracer ammunition which is another of our products causing increasing
interest in the international market.
The new-generation armor piercing ammunition
from Bofors Carl Gustaf for assault rifle or machine gun is designed for
full effect against modern targets.
The 5.56 AP round penetrates 12 mm armor plate of 300 HB at 100 m.
The 7.62 AP round penetrates 15 mm armor plate at 300 m. It also
penetrates 120 mm Plexiglas helicopter protection and is highly effective on
brick and concrete walls and causes no barrel wear.
CGTEC, a division of Bofors Carl Gustaf AB, is
responsible for applying military technology to the commercial market in
the form of protection and safety.

- it can penetrate 50 layers of para-aramid fabric at 5O m and 3 mm steel plate
at 75 m.
