Re: 2021 SS190 with Steel "jacket"? not just the steel penetrator??? & SS192? listed in 2021 FN Doc???

Interesting, I was looking for that document to verify on my desktop to confirm, couldn't and got sidetracked by work. Looks like my memory has failed and I was wrong. I do remember sectioning SS190 and it did not have a copper washed jacket. It was NOT SS190 I sectioned but this lighter prototype ...

Re: 2021 SS190 with Steel "jacket"? not just the steel penetrator??? & SS192? listed in 2021 FN Doc???

Update: when i created this thread I had also created a clone of it on the other forum (FNForum) in hopes of casting a wider net for others who may have helpful information, but APPARENTLY an uppity moderator on that forum didn't like the topic? I logged on recently and discovered they took it down?...

Re: 2021+ SS190 with "Steel JACKET"?!? not just the penetrator??? & 2021 production SS192????

Hey Jay, check this out

I was rummaging through some of the old historical document you have posted here.
https://www.fivesevenforum.com/viewtopi ... =2&t=17396

It references it as steel jacketed here too.

Pg 5/7 of the SS190 doc. dated 1994.

Re: 2021+ SS190 with "Steel JACKET"?!? not just the penetrator??? & 2021 production SS192????

I was working on a hunch and despite the document being labeled from 2021 it looks like FN may be recycling 20+/- year old marketing material in it? or at least potions of it? this would explain the SS192 thing too. just republishing it post-2021 Official NATO adoption/standardization? Nevertheless ...

Hey Jay, Thanks for chiming in. I got a lot of respect for you, and your trailblazing efforts and products. Even apart from the SS190's steel penetrator the aluminum core of S190 has notable differences from the SS192/SS195/SS198(and your S4's). In my cross sections and dissections the aluminum core...

2021 SS190 with Steel "jacket"? not just the steel penetrator??? & SS192? listed in 2021 FN Doc???

Hello Five-Seven Friends, I got a curious case for the forum here. No those weren't typos in the subject line but sheer confusion generated by a genuine FN document.... I came across this oddity in a post-NATO standardization 5.7x28mm pamphlet dated 2021 (Date confirmed on bottom of last page) which...
