Hi and welcome. It is made for combat as it has a mild steel penetrator tip for better hard target penetration like body armor. Bullet design/cross section shown here: youtube.com/watch?v=PCfGKlArwZ8 -------------- Cheers, stay safe and enjoy!

This Winchester ammo is more effective at penetrating hard targets. The US made M855 is painted with a green tip in order to distinguish the M855 from the M193 so that US Military troops do not shoot M855 in their 1:12" twist barreled M16's which would end up failing to properly stabilize the heavier and longer M855 bullet. With a muzzle velocity of 3020 feet per second and muzzle energy of 1255 foot pounds, this Winchester M855 Penetrator 5.56mm NATO is ideal for target shooting, training, and plinking.
