Whether you are shooting an AR-15 or AK-47, the M855 / SS109 is still a very popular round with shooters in the United States. These rounds were originally considered controversial, as they meet one of the criteria of the federal definition of armor-piercing ammunition. Surplus M855 / SS109 62-grain “green tip” ammo is widely available at very reasonable prices and is a decent back up for your primary defensive loads. At close range velocities, these bullets tend to fracture, similar to a hollow point style round. 

If you want to hit your target with a high-performance round, then 5.56 Green Tip ammo is for you. This ammo was accepted by the United States Military back in the 1980s as an improvement over its predecessor M193 5.56mm weight. Since then, it has been deployed many times to help our troops win in battle. The green tips help identify this cartridge as armor piercing and higher velocity than the M193 version.
