Military Tungsten Alloy Ball in M576

Military tungsten alloy ball is made of tungsten alloy. It is small but very dense. Military tungsten alloy has high density, great hardness and non-toxicity. The metal pellets of M576 is made of military tungsten alloy ball.

The M576 is a US Army designation for a type of 40mm grenade cartridge. The M576 is a buckshot load for the M79, M203 M320 and M32 MGL grenade launchers. It was designed to give the soldier carrying a grenade launcher a powerful cartridge for close quarters combat such as found in clearing buildings, bunkers, and trenches, as well as thick vegetation.

The M576 contains 24-grain metal pellets. The XM576/XM576E1 was standardized to become the M576. Normal dispersion pattern of the M576 will put 13 of 20 pellets in a 1.5 meter circle at 40 meters. The remaining 7 pellets could be anywhere. Another test variant, the XM576E2, which had twenty seven, 24-grain metal pellets without a sabot within the shot cup was deemed to spread too quickly for effective use. Both types had a muzzle velocity of roughly 880 ft/s (268 m/s).

With the high density and hardness of military tungsten alloy ball, M576 can kill personnel efficiently in battlefield.
