Product Description
An original British Army L21A1 5.56×45mm NATO Frangible inert cartridge manufactured in 2007 by RUAG Ammotec, Thun, Switzerland, under contract for the UK Ministry of Defence.
The L21A1 was introduced as a British service loading for the SA80 family of rifles, including the L85A2 Individual Weapon and L86A2 Light Support Weapon, following the procurement of ammunition from RUAG. These cartridges first appeared in British service in 2007 and were supplied on standard NATO chargers and in military packaging.
This example is fitted with a frangible projectile, designed to disintegrate on impact with hard surfaces. Frangible ammunition greatly reduces ricochet and fragmentation hazards, making it suitable for close-quarters training, steel target shooting and specialist military applications while still maintaining reliable function in service weapons.
The cartridge retains its original brass case with the T 07 L21A1 headstamp and has been rendered completely inert for safe display.
