M193 Ball

Battle Tested. Battle Proven. Warfighter Ready.

The M193 has a 55-grain projectile with no tip identification. In an effort to reduce weight, the 5.56 x 45 mm cartridge first appeared in 1957 as an experimental military cartridge. In 1964, it was officially adopted by the U.S. Army as the 5.56 mm Ball cartridge M193. The cartridge was first combat-tested in Vietnam in the early 1960s.
