The M855A1 is a significant leap forward from the M855. One of the most notable improvements is using a non-lead core, which enhances penetration capabilities. The M855A1 features a steel penetrator tip and a copper alloy jacket designed to improve accuracy and lethality. This design ensures better performance against hard targets and reduces the chances of over-penetration in soft targets.
Ballistically, the M855A1 is superior to standard 5.56 rounds in several respects. It has a higher muzzle velocity (3113 fps, 1334 ft. lbs.) and maintains stability and accuracy over longer distances. The round’s aerodynamic design reduces drag, allowing for a flatter trajectory and more consistent impact. This difference means greater effectiveness, especially in long-range engagements.
The M855A1 also performs better against steel armor than the standard M855 and its predecessor, the M193. While the M855A1 is not an armor-piercing round, it does offer improved penetration and can defeat many body armors in a repeat-hit scenario.
The Army also reports that the M855A1 displays better terminal performance. That speaks to the overall versatility and effectiveness of the round in combat scenarios.
This M855A1 For Sale consists of 3 stripper clips of 10 rounds each and 1 Magpul PMAG Gen M3 30 round magazine for AR/M4
