84mm MAAWS Munitions
Overview
The 84mm ammunition for the Carl Gustav M3/M4 series come in many shapes and forms from high explosive anti tank, flares, smoke and a shotgun-esque munition firing 1000 steel flechettes. Through its 72 year history the carl gustav has evolved and so have the munition fired through it.

65mm High Velocity Direct Fire Grenade
Overview
The 65mm High Velocity Direct Fire Grenade is a extremely high pressure grenade munition developed by SynTech Arms to be fired from a man portable grenade rifle called the DFGS-60 which can interchangably fire a mixture of 60 or 65mm grenades with a simple barrel change.
The DFGS system was developed in 2013 to provide soldiers an offensive weapon system capable of rapid firing explosive ordnance at ranges far exceeding the maximum capabilities of more traditional grenade launchers such as the M203, M32 and M320. Seeing the potential of the weapon system, the United States Marine Corps adopted it as a replacement to the M32 Rotary Grenade Launcher.

Covers the stats of anti materiel ammunition.
25x137mm Bushmaster
Overview
The 25x137mm Bushmaster is a primarily vehicle utilised auto-cannon cartridge with a wide range of ammunition that has been developed for this munition, providing weapons that utilise it with the capability to defeat the majority of armored vehicles it is likely to encounter, up to and including some light tanks. The ammunition used in the M242 Bushmaster Chain Cannon may also be used in a variety of weapons such as the GAU-12 Equalizer, the French Giat M811, or the Swiss Oerlikon KBA weapon system.
Despite its wide use in vehicles, it is almost never utilised in man portable weapons due to the power, weight and size of the munition, however one such weapon does exist, the Laku Solutions LRAMW-25 (Light Recoil Anti Materiel Weapon-25mm), which is a 39 kilogram anti-materiel rifle designed to give the capability for defeating light vehicles, powered infantry armor, exo-skeletons and mechas to an infantry platoon.

.45-70 Government
Overview
The .45-70, also known as .45-70 Government or .45-70 Govt. is an extremely powerful cartridge developed in the 1870's. It is primarily used for big game hunting out of lever action rifles or big bore revolvers such as the Magnum Research BFR. Even today it still competes with newer "ultra magnum" cartridges such as .500 Smith & Wesson Magnum, this is mostly due to its large case that can accomodate extremely large and heavy projectiles along with enough powder to sling them at high velocities - this thing is a monster, anything that ends up on the wrong end of it doesn't live to tell the tale.

.510 Beck
Overview
.510 Beck is a specialised cartridge designed for the AR-10 rifle platform that offers loadings from 200gr to 1050gr super heavy loads. It offers everything from accurate precision loads for longer range shooting all the way to short range cartridges for punching through tough animals and even body armor.
While typically a civilian cartridge with nothing particularly 'different' about it, SynTech Arms recently partnered up with Knight Armament Company to create their Special Airbursting Rifle System and decided on using a KAC SR-25 as a basis for the design. While looking for a cartridge that offered both realiability in an AR-10 and payload potential, SynTech came upon the .510 Beck and used it as the basis for their specialised RDX and LXT experimental munitions.
RDX Nanoexplosives and LXT Nanoexplosives were tested to see which yielded better payload efficiency, LXT Nanoexplosives were determined to yield the best blast radius and were used in SynTechs patented airbursting .510 Beck munition. However these projectiles proved to be too heavy for 'traditional' propulsion methods to be effective without making the projectiles entirely useless so SynTech paired a magnectic rail accelerator to the weapon platform to magnetically propell the projectiles at high velocities as well as gives a velocity boost to other more traditional projectiles.

.50 Beowulf
Overview
The .50 Beowulf is a 12mm magnum rifle cartridge designed to greatly increase the lethality of the AR-15 platform at close to medium ranges. It is advertised as a great cartridge for civilians wanting to hunt large game or for military/police conducting CQB or even checkpoint duty, with the round be almost etirely undisturbed by most common barriers such as windscreens and body panels.

.458 SOCOM
Overview
The .458 SOCOM (11.63×40mm) is a moderately large round designed for a specialized upper receiver that can be mounted on any AR-15 pattern lower receiver. The 300-grain (19 g) round offers a supersonic muzzle velocity of 1,900 ft/s (580 m/s) and 2,405 ftlbf (3,261 J), similar to a light .45-70 but with a much smaller case. Prompted by the lack of power offered by the 5.56 NATO cartridge used in the M4 carbine and the M16 rifle, the .458 SOCOM came about from informal discussion of members of the special operations command, specifically Task Force Ranger's experience that multiple shots were required to incapacitate members of the opposing force in Mogadishu during Operation Gothic Serpent. Many Somalis would chew the drug Khat all day and the effects of the drug would both curb their appetite (in a country plagued by famine) and increase their pain tolerance.

.45 Raptor
Overview
The .45 Raptor is a rimless centerfire cartridge developed for medium and large game hunting. Compared to similar big bore cartridges designed for the AR-15 – such as the .450 Bushmaster, .458 SOCOM, and .50 Beowulf – the 45 Raptor offers higher velocity bullets, a flatter shooting trajectory and the ability to reliably feed hollow point ammunition. It is able to fit into 7.62x51 magazines with some modification, making it easy for companies to make rifles capable of firing the cartridge without the need to design and develop a specialised magazine.

.338 Norma Magnum
Overview
.338NM (Norma Magnum) is a medium machine gun calibre designed to bridge the gap between 7.62x51 and .50BMG. It is effective up to 2500m for accurate fire unlike the 7.62x51 which is only good for up 1500m accurately. In addition it retains its velocity and stopping power out to its accurate distance making it a highly effective round at close and far distances. As of 2020 is it currently being pushed as a replacement for .50 BMG in the anti-materiel role, as such a replacement for the MK211 RAUFOSS round has been developed to give the round capabilities similar to that of the .50 BMG.

.270 Winchester Short Magnum
Overview
The 270 Winchester Short Magnum or 270 WSM is a short, magnum cartridge created by necking down the .300 Winchester Short Magnum and fitting it with a .277 caliber bullet. The correct name for the cartridge, is 270 WSM, without a decimal point. It is a member of the Winchester Short Magnum family of cartridges.
The 270 WSM is an improvement over the older 270 Winchester providing higher velocity with bullets of the same weight, and thus a flatter trajectory and more energy. Velocities tend to be about 250 ft/s (76 m/s) faster, in a cartridge that is shorter and can therefore be used in a shorter action resulting in a more compact rifle if desired.
Its prefered use case is hunting and long range precision shooting, it has seen little to no military adoption beyond small use cases in special mission units. As such there are no armor penetrating or specialist projectiles, with only factory match and hunting loads available

.30-06 Springfield
Overview
The .30-06 Springfield cartridge (pronounced "thirty-aught-six") or 7.62×63mm was introduced to the United States Army in 1906 and later standardized; it remained in use until the late-1970s. The ".30" refers to the caliber of the bullet in inches. The "06" refers to the year the cartridge was adopted, 1906. With the help of modern ammunition development and manufacturing process's the .30-06 has been able to be revived into limited service by certain special operations units. Thanks to the size of the projectile and the case size the .30-06 is able to be loaded with heavier projectiles and more powder than 7.62x51 can be.
T99 Anti-aircraft Munition
T99 Anti-aircraft munitions were designed to be mixed with traditional tracers to assist with marking aircraft. It packs a small explosive in the tip that makes a highly visible explosion.
T100 HEIAP
T100 High Explosive Incendiary Armor Piercing Munition is a modern evolution of the T99 Munition. The T100 was designed by the Commonwealth Joint Task Force Weapons Research & Development Group to serve as an option for long range light anti-vehicle tasks sporting a duplex munition with a high explosive tip followed by an incendiary armor piercing projectile.
D.U.D.S.
.30-06 Depleted Uranium Discarding Sabot was an experimental armor piercing munition developed for the .30-06 in the 1960's however it was quickly discarded due to the radiation emited from the munition. Due to the highly dense depleted uranium sabot the ammunition is extremely heavy, as such it has to be paired with a powerful accelerant. However CJTF-WRDG has begun producing the ammunition again, use at your own discretion.

6.5 Grendel
Overview
The 6.5mm Grendel (6.5×39mm) is an intermediate cartridge designed by Arne Brennan, Bill Alexander and Janne Pohjoispää as a low-recoil, high-accuracy cartridge specifically for the AR-15 platform at medium/long range (200–800 yard). The 6.5mm Grendel design goal was to create an effective 200–800 yard STANAG magazine-length cartridge for the AR-15 that surpassed the performance of the native 5.56mm NATO/.223 Remington cartridge. Constrained by the dimension of the magazines, the Grendel designers decided to use a shorter, larger diameter case for higher powder volume while allowing space for long, streamlined, high-ballistic coefficient (BC) bullets.

.224 Valkyrie
Overview
The .224 Valkyrie (5.6×41 mm) cartridge is a .22 caliber (5.6 mm) rimless bottlenecked intermediate rifle cartridge, developed by Federal Premium Ammunition. .224 Valkyrie uses the same bullet diameter as 5.56×45mm NATO and a necked down larger case from the 6.8 SPC, allowing for heavier bullets and higher muzzle velocity.
The .224 Valkyrie was designed to fill a need for long range small platform modern sporting rifles, the .224 Valkyrie was developed by Federal by taking their proven 6.8 SPC case and necking it down to utilize a .224 diameter projectile. Prior to this, the ability to compete at long range (1000+ meters or yards) was dominated in competition by .308 Winchester and 6.5mm Creedmoor.
.224 offers a lightweight, highly accurate alternative to 7.62x51 and 6.5 Creedmoor.
Stats
Note: 343.2 m/s is the subsonic barrier - anything below that is considered subsonic. Subsonic ammunition removes the bullet crack down range making the round better suited to stealth.

5.45x39
Overview
With the need for an intermediate higher velocity cartridge to compete with America's relatively new 5.56x45 Russia developed the 5.45x39 cartridge along with the development of the AK-74 to fire it. The performance and capabilities of the new round greatly outweighed those of the antiquated 7.62x39 round and in turn led to the 7.62 round being pushed out of service with the 5.45x39 becoming the new standard round used by Russia.
7N6
7N6 was the first variant of 5.45x39 adopted in 1974. It is a FMJ projectile with similar performance to 5.56x45 ammunition.
This round has the following variants:
- 7T3M is a 7N6 Tracer variant.
7N6M
7N6M is a modernised variant of 7N6 with the M literally standing for "Modernised". 7N6M possesses improved penetration capabilities over its predecessor. While it has better penetrative capabilities it does not out perform 5.56x45, almost all variants of 5.56x45 greatly out perform it in armour and barrier penetration.
7N10
7N10 is a further improved penetration round which was developed in an attempt to compete with 5.56x45. Although it is a massive improvement over 7N6M it is still outperformed by most 5.56 variants.
7N22
7N22 is an armour penetration round designed with the specific purpose of defeating modern body armours (at the time as it was adopted in 1998). The round was designed with a steel perpetrator in the bullet and possesses similar capabilities to that of 5.56x45 M855A1.
7U1
7U1 is a subsonic variant on 7N6 with a much heavier bullet and reduced powder charge to bring the speed of the round down to subsonic speeds to work better with suppressors and eliminate supersonic cracks. However the performance is greatly effected by the change.
Stats
Note: 343.2 m/s is the subsonic barrier - anything below that is considered subsonic. Subsonic ammunition removes the bullet crack down range making the round better suited to stealth.

.52 Auto Magnum
Overview
The .52 Auto Magnum was created in 1988 by Arcadia Machine & Tool for use in a prototype autoloading pistol. It was designed as a rimless, straight wall case cartridge loaded by taking a .510 SuperMagnum casing, converting it to be rimless and loading it with custom manufactured projectiles.
It was intended to be a close range dangerous and big game hunting cartridge loaded into a semi-automatic handgun. Additionally several experimental armor-penetrating projectiles were created for possible police and military buyers, however they did not go anywhere due to the slow and heavy nature of the cartridge not being of interest to any potential customers.

10mm Auto
Overview
The 10mm Auto (10×25mm) is a powerful semi-automatic pistol cartidge first introduced in 1983. In 1989 the round was adopted by the FBI but was soon decommisioned due to the excessive recoil and overpowered nature of the caliber which then resulted in the .40S&W round being developed by Smith & Wesson which is a shorter variant of the 10mm.
10mm is still used by a select few agencies and militaries around the world, it also has an enthusiastic group of supporters and users in the civilian and contractor world. It is used for self defense and hunting, offering extreme stopping power in a semi-automatic capable cartidge.

.40 S&W (Short & Wimpy)
Overview
The .40 S&W is a rimless pistol cartridge developed jointly by major American firearms manufacturers Smith & Wesson and Winchester. The .40 S&W was developed from the ground up as a law enforcement cartridge designed to duplicate performance of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) reduced-velocity 10mm Auto cartridge which could be retrofitted into medium-frame (9mm size) semi-automatic handguns. It uses 0.40-inch (10 mm) diameter bullets ranging in weight from 105 to 200 grains (6.8 to 13.0 g).

7.62x25 Tokarev
Overview
The 7.62×25mm Tokarev cartridge is a Russian rimless bottlenecked pistol cartridge widely used in former Soviet satellite states, and in China and Pakistan among other countries. The cartridge has since been replaced in most capacities by the 9×18mm Makarov in Russian service. The cartridge is in principle an enhanced Russian version of the 7.63×25mm Mauser. The Russians produced a wide array of loadings for this cartridge for use in submachine guns.
This cartridge has excellent penetration and can easily defeat lighter ballistic vests (NIJ level I and IIA) as well as some kevlar helmets. When fired from a carbine-length barrel the cartridge may penetrate NIJ level II, but is readily stopped by the current standard armor NIJ level IIIA. Although most firearms chambered in this caliber were declared obsolete and removed from military inventories, some police and special forces units in Russia, Pakistan and in China may still use it because of the large quantity of stored ammunition available.

.22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (.22WMR)
Overview
The .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire, also called .22 WMR or .22 Magnum is a rimfire cartridge. It is a high velocity cartridge that is sometimes considered the budget 5.7, offering superior capacity in a handgun (30 rounds in the PMR-30 compared to 20 rounds in the FN Five-seveN) and with the right loads, offering similar ballistic capabilities. Additionally, while it lacks the punching power of bigger pistol calibers it does offer the ability to shoot out to further ranges than typical for a pistol caliber - making it a highly capable calibre in its own right.
