RUAG Ammotec - Environmentally Friendly Small Arms Ammunition and Grenades, Mortar and Artillery Training Systems

RUAG Ammotec produces, since 1863, high precision ammunition. In 2002 RUAG and Dynamit Nobel merged their small calibre activities to form RUAG Ammotec.

Our main customers are international armed and special forces, including some NATO forces, Swiss and German armed forces and other customers around the world.

Our goal is the production of high precision ammunition with the best performance. Our product range includes:

  • Various ammunition for small arms
  • Fragmentation grenades
  • Mortar and artillery training systems
  • Our brand-new 'less-lethal' solutions

One of our specialities is the development and production of 'Green Ammo'. We have a non-toxic and lead-free solid bullet with the absolutely reliable Sintox® priming technology. This technology is, for example, applied in the 9mm Luger Self. We are also developing 'Green Bullets' for rifles.

Our sniper ammunition fulfils all requirements for special forces and police deployments. SWISS P rifle ammunition has outstanding precision and ballistics.

  • Armour Piercing (AP) high-penetration capacity
  • Styx Action high-impact deformation
  • Target for precision and training
  • Ball ammunition for use by armed forces under international conventions
  • Tactical for combating targets behind glass
  • Subsonic (different ballistics) extra-heavy projectiles for special requirements

Infantry cartridges include:

  • 4.6mm x 30mm PDW
  • 5.56mm x 45mm NATO (.223 Rem)
  • 7.62mm x 51mm NATO (.308 Win.)

We also supply other 9mm ammunition, specially designed for law enforcement purposes.

HAND GRENADE AND 40mm LV FRAGMENTATION GRENADE

The RUAG hand grenade offers new technology for defeating the extensive use of modern body armour, as well as providing enhanced safety during use, storage and transport. Chosen by the British Armed Forces as the best performing hand grenade in the world. Also in use by the Dutch, Swiss and other armed forces. Our range of fragmentation ammunitions includes:

  • Fragmentation hand grenade
  • Offensive hand grenade
  • Explosive practice hand grenade and the relevant training tools
  • 40mm LV fragmentation
  • 40mm LV practice (tracer)

MORTAR AND ARTILLERY SUB-CALIBRE TRAINING SYSTEMS

The sub-calibre mortar training system MT 25mm, is an effective tool to save costs and to provide high-quality training in small areas. The system consists of an aluminum-alloy body and is available for mortars in caliber 60mm, 81mm, 120mm and 4.2in.

As a result of an improvement program, we can now offer the new training cartridge 14.5mm m137, with an electronically fused spotting round for artillery training systems. The standard 14.5mm training cartridges with impact fuse and pyrotechnic time fuse are still available.

LESS-LETHAL WEAPONS (LLW) AND LESS-LETHAL AMMUNITION

Today, less-lethal solutions (also called non-lethal weapons) are becoming more and more important in peace-keeping and riot-control operations and tactical deployment. For these types of operations we offer a wide range of products. We have different kinds of ammunition for the widely used 40mm LV grenade launchers and throwing bodies. For further information see press release at the bottom of this page or our homepage.
