Transcription

1 M193 BALL orthrop Grumman maintains the critical skills, Applications orthrop Grumman s cartridges are in ATO. They are verified to function The M193 has a 55-grain projectile with no tip identification. In an effort to reduce weight, the cartridge first appeared in 1957 as an experimental military cartridge. In 1964, it was officially adopted by the U.S. Army as the 5.56 mm Ball cartridge M193. It has proven to be an effective military cartridge for fighting in jungle or forested areas and for close-in fire support. The cartridge was first combat-tested in Vietnam in the early 1960s orthrop Grumman Corporation.
