There are two reasons for changing the jackets material. Firstly, the quality in production of the tombac jacket is higher than the quality of the steel jacket. That leads to a better precision for the ammunition. But the main reason for the change is that the tombac jacked bullet wears less on the barrel of the gun. The drawback is a higher price of the ammunition. I don't know how big a differens there is.

The grenade is put over the barrels end. Maximum range of the grenade is ca 300 meters and the smoking time is ca 50 seconds. The cartridges neck has a rose petal closure and is sealed.

PSG90 has no blank firing device, so the blank cartridge is without the normal bullet of wood. When using blank ammunition in PSG90 you use a special magazine that's shortened inside to not accept normal ammunition. Risk range for the ammunition is 10 meters. The cartridge shown here is made 1992, which is said to be the first year of production for the Swedish defence. It is made by Bakelittfabrikken, Norway

Projectile type Armour piercing Colour markings Black tip V0 mps 960 mps V0 fps 3149 fps Propellant   Propellant weight Gram   Propellant weight Grain   The projectile has a hard metal core that gives the ammunition a very good penetration on hard targets. Conventional AP ammunition uses hard steel as a penetrator. The Tungsten material have a much higher density, which makes the penetrator much heavier than a steel penetrator of the same size. The projectile penetrates at least 15 mm steel at 300 meters or 20 mm of steel at 100 meters. The cartridge on the picture is stamped as made 1984. That is a truth with modification. The case is made then, but the ammunition is built 1987.  Pls. se picture of the box here.  To see a pic of the effect click here.  To se some development models, click here. A big thanks to Morten Støen for this cartridge and projectile!

It will increase the range from 800 meters to 1000 meters, one shot, one kill. The projectile is sub calibre and has a diameter of 4,81 mm. Its kept in a sabot made of plastic and aluminium that releases from the projectile after it left the barrel. If you want to read more about the ammunition i recommend FMV:s site www.fmv.se There you will find a LOT of good information on the ammunition. The ammunition is made in USA by Winchester, and is a development of Winchesters SLAP (Saboted light armour piercing) ammunition. The development is much around the sabot to make the ammunition more accurate. 1998 Winchester got a order for one million rounds. I would like to give a big thanks to Morten Støen for this pictures and for good additional information!
