    This is the first of two known types of rifle grenades used in the early 1980th in the trial period of the AK5. The cartridge is produced by Karlsborg Ammunitions fabrik, Vanäsverken in 1980.
    I have not yet seen any designation for this cartridges, and they are really unusual today. They did probably not pass the stadium of experimental. There is no to me known Swedish design of the grenade, it were probably produced by FN or any other factory.

    This is Sweden's standard 5,56x45 ball today. It has a hard steel core in the tip of the projectile which gives the ball a very good penetration on hard targets. It will penetrate 3,4mm steel on 500 meters or a modern helmet on up to 800 meters.

    The bullet of the inert round is going through the full length of the case and is solid and it is probably made out of aluminum.

    This cartridge is used by a weapon technician to test if a weapon is fully healthy. The pressure of this cartridge is much higher than a standard cartridge, and an unhealthy weapon might fail the test. Please observe, do NOT use this cartridge yourself to test a weapon, it can cause severe injury!

    This cartridge might not even of left the factory test area. It is equipped with what seems to be a MEN produced projectile from their environmental friendlier assortment. It is loaded though in a by Karlsborg ammunition fabriks produced case of 1996. This cartridge comes from the same factory.

    This is a newly developed round, It is a environment friendly "green" ammunition. Every year the shooting fields are contaminated with led, and in this projectile the lead is switch to steel instead. The primer is also changed in it’s compounds so it is more environment-friendly. The only physical difference between a standard projectile and a "Green" model B cartridge is in the two lines 10 and 2 a clock in the head stamp. The late dated ammunition is all stamped CG what I know of.
