What Is Frangible Ammunition & How Does It Work?
Key Features and Benefits
- Lead-Free Composition: Safer for indoor ranges and better for the environment.
- Reduced Ricochet Risk: Our rounds significantly break apart on impact, drastically reducing spalling.
- Decreased Over-Penetration: Ideal for close-quarters training, home defense, and self-defense.
- Rigorous Testing: Thousands of hours under our SWET™ (Same Way Every Time) philosophy ensure consistent performance.
These features make our product the perfect choice for training, competitive steel target shooting, and CQB scenarios where safety is paramount.
How Frangible Ammunition Works
Our manufacturing process compresses metal powders, such as copper and tin/ copper and iron/ copper and polymer, at high pressure to form a solid cartridge. When the round strikes a hard surface, it breaks into much smaller fragments, dissipating its energy immediately. In contrast, traditional FMJ (Full Metal Jacket) rounds may bounce unpredictably and pose significant risks.

Frangible Ammunition for Home Defense and Self-Defense
Beyond training and competition, our purpose-built rounds also serve CQB and defensive training needs, demonstrating broad utility. Their controlled disintegration minimizes the risk of penetrating walls or causing collateral damage, offering an extra layer of safety in critical situations. This innovative design ensures that each round not only performs effectively but also reduces potential harm to bystanders.
