Winchester USA White Box Green Tip 5.56 NATO

A: Samuel, no, green tip is like fmj but it has a steel core so it penetrates hard objects easier. If you shoot steel targets at the range I would not recommend green tipped ammo because it will go straight threw it or damage the steel plate. This is penatrator ammo. Hope this helps.

A: M855 is often called "green tip" ammo. The tip of the projectile is marked green to denote a steel "penetrator" in the lead core. This type of ammo is often prohibited for use at indoor shooting ranges. Hollow points are meant to not penetrate but for the target to absorb the energy from the bullet making them a better choice for self defense.

A: 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.

A: 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: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCfGKlArwZ8 -------------- Cheers, stay safe and enjoy!
