.223/5.56 Ammo Question

Featured Replies

Went to a gun show today.

 

Noticed *red tipped* and *green tipped* .223/5.56 ammo for sale. Anybody know what this is all about??

 

Also,

 

How is all the foreign made .223/5.56? I noticed it's relatively inexpensive, but I know in the end you get what you pay for.

    If I'm not mistaken, red tips are tracer rounds. I don't know about the green ones though. I noticed online that cheap imported ammo are priced based on steel or brass casings and corrosive or non-corrosive ammo.

    PMC ammo, which is Korean (I think) is great ammo. Anything brass is decent ammo though.

    I'm not sure about tracer ammo, but the green tipped steel core is actually NOT illegal. It's not designated as armor piercing and is therefore not restricted.

    IIRC, as far as the NJ Statute, you can OWN tracer ammo, you just cant discharge it unless LEO/Military.. certain shotgun training rounds are exempt.
