General Dynamics maintains that its new short-range .50 caliber ammunition will give troops a lot more opportunities to safely train with the Ma Deuce heavy machine gun.
The new .50 Caliber round is the latest in GD’s Short Range Training Ammunition line, Ruben Regalado of General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems, said at Modern Day Marine 2017.
It can be used on an unmodified weapon and has a maximum range of less than 700 meters, compared to that standard .50 caliber round’s maximum range of about 8,000 meters, Regalado said.
The effective range on the .50 caliber SRTA round is 200 meters.
