Multi-mission Ammunition
Breaching From Cover
Our goal is to produce small arms munitions that can be used successfully in several mission profiles without compromising performance for any mission. SlapShot’s ammunition developer has done many mechanical breaches over 3 decades of law enforcement. SlapShot Ammunition’s line of 12 gauge ammunition is well suited for urban close quarters combat, covering fire, assaults in structures, IED disruption, energized circuit disruption, and breaching.
If the breacher has a magazine with SlapShot’s HMVA (Hypersonic Mass Violence Ammunition), the breacher can disable the lock/latch/hinge of the door, and enter the structure with the assault team still having superior ammunition that is designed to prevent over penetration of walls and combatants. The breacher can use the same ammunition to provide effective covering fire while having precise accuracy to isolate a friendly from a hostile.
SlapShot’s Hypersonic Mass Violence Ammunition enables a breacher to do a contact breach or shoot from cover like the gun port of and armored vehicle. These pictured impacts were done at approximately 30 feet with a Savage 212 with a scope. The slugs were also tested to see if they would blast through this steal residential door. The pressure from the slug impact causes a pressure blow out with pulverized material but the projectile does not pass through.
Ammunition Efficiency is a critical factor we track and maintain in all of our slug projectile ammunition. The three load configurations used in our recent breaching tests are:
SS4K-78 = 3” Roll crimped, 78 grain, .73 Caliber, 50 yard recommended effective range, 99.5% Efficient
PHD250-72 = 2-3/4 roll crimped, .73 caliber, 72, 3000+ FPS, 97.9% Efficient
PHD250-78 - 2-3/4 roll crimped, .73 caliber, 78 grain, 3000+ FPS, 97.9% Efficient
Testimonial
Retired Sgt Major Burs contacted us to discuss our ammunition and ordered several types to be tested by his team. Mr. Burs does product and innovation research. He and his team develop techniques and do discovery, taking what is learned to Combat Development.
