- MAC, LLC's .50 caliber polymer round is the only one of its kind that is qualified. Plant manager Joe Gibbons explains how it works. The weight savings are around 28%. Filmed at Nammo's booth at AUSA 2019.
See through ammo I love it
At least you can tell it’s not spiked
Getting paid to think the unthinkable
They have gone far outside the box
That they can see other boxes
I wrote a story about this exact ammo almost 10 years ago.
So ? Do you see any future for this ?

yutuniopati The problem is brass cased ammo is just so affordable. Polymer ammo would have to be accepted on a large scale by civilian shooters for the price to come down. Since there isn’t really a perceived benefit for the average shooter it will remain a novelty. The big market is military. The military would benefit from weight savings big time. If the military used it the price may come down to a point more civilian shooters would use it.
@@hoot1141 I managed to buy 2 of these round off Gunbroker, these are super rare and I should have bought all 10. These will remain a collectible.
By some power of God I found 10 of these rounds on Gunbroker and I bought 2 rounds, could not find them at all after that. I should have bought all 10 because these are super super rare and collectible.
Had wondered who else spotted these on GB. Managed to buy some there, and found some more that I purchased out of stock on a collector ammo page. To my understanding engel ballistic research had some play with the cases back around 2017. likely where the other loose rounds originated from. Another source told me of a competitive shooter, firing these in m33 ball at a long range comp. Ive reached out to Nammo, and was informed that currently there is no sales on a commercial basis. But did not rule out the potential of sales in the future.
@@grahamhill8282 commercial sales would be awesome, when I bought these on GB the seller had a box of 10 and was selling individual rounds, I should have bought all of them. These are very collectable.
Isn't the point of brass casings to leave the weapon with as much of the heat from the firing as possible?
Your going to have cooling issues on many of the weapon you put these in.
Edit: I looked the specific heat capacity of brass vs common polymers and it does compare that great. While they the better thermal conduction, metals typically don't absorb much heat. Can anyone comment on the issue? As far as I can tell now, brass is used because of its material properties and not it thermal ones.
Cost?...
not much more, considering the links are cheaper
Gotta see some real reliability to be any hope of something owsome,its fun to dream but being no civilians will get it or it wont be widly used by gov,unlikely.Then if it works I love it so cool.
it's been qualified for issue, it's reliable
yeah yeah....but what aboot nato....? it as to be standard
Don't need to be a standard, when the Caliber dosent change....it would be only different ammo.

What about environmental issues? Having plastic laying around all over?
the plastic they use, no a lot. Also, there's spent ammo bags for staying clean
I'd be more concerned about the fuel burned and the tire track erosion on an operation than a bit of brass or plastic lying around.
It's the overall carbon footprint of wartime operations that is a major issue.
@@OminousPinapple 😂😂😂 what's with the Metall cases laying around?
And there are plastic that can disapear in the nature.
