The PMC X-TAC 5.56x45mm NATO 62-Grain Light Armor Penetrator (LAP) M855 Green Tip Factory Brass 20-round box is specialized centerfire rifle military ammunition engineered explicitly for barrier penetration, outdoor tactical training, and long-term defensive stockpiling. Standard lead-core target ammunition often lacks the structural rigidity needed to pierce light cover or maintain flight stability in gusting crosswinds over extended distances. PMC solves these tactical limitations by driving an M855 steel-core penetrator projectile at a high velocity of 3,100 FPS and 1,323 ft-lbs of muzzle energy, delivering reliable semi-automatic cycling, flat trajectories, and enhanced barrier capability.
The core performance advantage centers on the standardized M855 / SS109 bullet architecture. Featuring a hardened steel penetrator tip seated ahead of a dense lead core inside a full metal copper jacket, the projectile is designed to maintain structural mass through light cover while resisting deflection. The 62-grain mass provides increased sectional density over standard 55-grain ammunition, improving downrange momentum and wind resistance in 1:7 or 1:8 twist barrels. The signature painted green tip provides rapid visual identification for steel-core loadouts.
Manufactured in South Korea by Poongsan Corporation—a major NATO defense supplier—these cartridges are built in virgin, heavy-duty brass cases with crimped, sealed Boxer primers and sealed case mouths for moisture resistance during long-term storage. Charged with clean-burning propellants, PMC X-TAC guarantees uniform chamber pressures, a slick feed-ramp entrance, and dependable extraction across 5.56 NATO and .223 Wylde rifle platforms.
