Hi All,
You must excuse me as I’m a newbie to BOCN and haven’t picked up the lingo yet but I’d like to pick your brains.
I’ve just picked up 2 charger clips of 5.56x45mm NATO ammunition for my collection and was wondering if anybody could help me identify these rounds and give me the manufacturer & usage? I’ve attached some pictures of the: primer + headstamp, projectile & full round.
Round 1
Headstamp: 04 88
Case: Steel
Projectile: Green Tip, Copper Jacket with Steel Core (SS 109)
Manufacturer: Mechanische Werksttten Knigswartha - East Germany (04)
Date: 1988
Weapon: Wieger assault rifle series (STG940)
Round 2
Headstamp: SF 86 5.56
Case: Aluminium
Projectile: Ceramic (Short Range)
Manufacturer: Societe Gevelot - France (SF)
Date: 1986
Is there a library of terms I should use to describe these components?
Cheers
Andy
