This family of rifle cartridges has been developed especially for snipers. They are refined down to the last detail for use by absolute professionals. Our products are characterized by an outstanding precision, best target effects and perfectly matched ballistics.
All cartridges (except Subsonic) provide the same point of impact over the operative range. No adjustment is required in case of a change of cartridge. This enables the rifleman to focus entirely on firing and to obtain the best first-shot effect in the target at all times. Your know-how combined with our ammunition is simply unbeatable!
Exceptional precision, highest penetration force and - thanks to the underlying family concept - easiest and most convenient application are a matter of course for our customers. Our SWISS P line is appreciated and used successfully all over the world.
Always the right Cartridge for your Mission
- For Practice and Deployment: SWISS P Target
This match cartridge with HPBT projectile offers highest precision for the highly precise training. - The Classic FMJ: SWISS P Ball
The target ballistics of this projectile meet the specifications of the international conventions. The cartridge convinces by its precision and effect in both training and combat. - For Soft Targets: SWISS P Styx Action
This high-impact high-performance projectile has been developed for use against soft targets. The immediate and strong deformation of the projectile guarantees a rapid deposition of the energy and thereby achieves an excellent stopping effect. With this ammunition the danger to the environment can be reduced to the minimum.
- For Soft Targets: SWISS P CDP
This projectile is suitable for the same uses as the Styx Action type. It is of a different design, however, and produces virtually no fragments at a residual weight of nearly 99%. - For Armoured Targets: SWISS P Armour Piercing
The unbeatable hard-core projectile is suitable to fight armoured targets. Thanks to its core of tungsten-carbide the bullet penetrates bullet-proof jackets, bullet-proof glass as well as light armour, and this over long distances and with an unmatched precision. - For Targets behind Glass: SWISS P Tactical
This monoblock projectile permits to optimally fight targets behind slanted surfaces of laminated glass. The bullet is hardly deflected by the glass and develops no own fragments. - For Silent Shooting: SWISS P Subsonic
This cartridge for subsonic applications features a heavy hollow-tip projectile and enables the low-noise precision shot at a distance of up to 100 m. - Highest energy: SWISS P .50 Penetrator
The special ammunition of this calibre with a hard-core bullet of steel impresses by its exceptional precision and the projectile's superior penetration capacity over extremely long distances.
Ongoing Product Improvements
We attach great importance to maximum safety and a sustained use of resources. This is why we improve the manipulation safety and compatibility of our products with the environment on an ongoing basis. In new production processes we rely on ecological technologies which save resources. Milestones in this respect are e.g. the development of no-pollution SINTOX® ignition elements and lead-free projectiles.
The novel, lead-free 9mm Luger Self combat ammunition convinces by its high precision and reliability. Instead of lead, a special design of two tombac liners slid into each other is used. This tombac solution has enabled us to renounce on the very expensive alternative metal tungsten.
The same technology serves as basis for the development of completely lead-free 5.56mm ammunition of increased penetration capacity. The concept's compliance with NATO specifications is to be proven in the near future. As always, innovation and quality remain our recipe for success.
