Small Arms Ammunition

Use this catalogue to match an institutional requirement by exact calibre, cartridge purpose and designation. The range spans handgun, rifle and heavy-machine-gun ammunition, including 5.56x45, 7.62x39, 7.62x51, 7.62x54R, 12.7x99 and 12.7x108 mm families. Line items are separated by ball, match, tracer, armour-piercing, blank, subsonic and combined variants where the source data supports that classification.

Each card leads to the available item-level specification and datasheet. The standard field is reported as NATO, Eastern or Police only where it exists in the catalogue; an empty field is not treated as an inferred standard. Final configuration, packing, inspection, availability and delivery terms are confirmed against destination, quantity, end use and the required End-User Certificate. Sentinel Global handles enquiries for government end-users and licensed entities under the applicable export-control process.

Blank and subsonic cartridges

Explore this type

Two roles share this group. The six blank cartridges, indexed A-527, A-393, A-392, A-420 and A-445 for the M82, A-394 for the M200 and the long M200A1, and A-534, carry no bullet and quote a cartridge mass in place of a bullet mass. The three subsonic loadings, M78, A-568 and A-627, carry a heavy bullet held below the speed of sound, between 290 and 320 m/s. Every entry states a cartridge mass, a primer and propellant type, an operating temperature interval and a packing configuration.

Two line items sit outside the rifle and pistol natures of this domain. The MRB is a breaching cartridge listed in 12/70 and 12/76 case lengths, quoted against 3 mm steel sheet and a 100 mm pine beam, and written for semi-automatic shotguns. The MV-14 is a combat shotgun cartridge with a 68 mm case, a 20 mm brass head and an H 18 wad, loaded with 33 g of 8.50 mm buckshot at a V1 of 427 m/s and a pressure of 556 bar. The MRB gives breaking locks and hinges on wooden doors and obstacle penetration as its stated application, and the MV-14 quotes a 3 percent antimony content.
