Details
The SS109 cartridge was chosen by NATO as the second standardized rifle cartridge after the 7.62x51mm. The SS109 was named M855 by the US military and is also called 5.56x45mm NATO. Recognized by its green-tip, the M855 is known as Penetrator ammo as the bullet was designed to meet the U.S Continental Army Command's parameters for small-calibre, high velocity rifle ammunition which included penetration of a .135 inch steel plate at 500 yards. It is not, however, considered armour piercing. The armour piercing variant of 5.56 mm is the M995 which has a tungsten core and is painted with a black tip.
