M855 is one of the most common military surplus rounds available to AR-15 owners. The M855 uses a 62-grain FMJ bullet with a partial steel core. The tip of the bullet is painted green to indicate that the front half of its core is made of steel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This differs from the 5.56 round in service before it, the M193, which uses a 55-grain boat tail bullet with a full copper jacket and lead core.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is Green Tip Ammo Used For?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6367 size-full\" title=\"ar-15\" src=\"https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/shootingar15-2.jpg\" alt=\"a woman shooting an ar-15 rifle\" width=\"2000\" height=\"974\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/shootingar15-2.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/shootingar15-2-300x146.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/shootingar15-2-1024x499.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/shootingar15-2-768x374.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/shootingar15-2-1536x748.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/shootingar15-2-200x97.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/shootingar15-2-750x365.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/shootingar15-2-1140x555.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FN Herstal developed the M855 green tip ammo, originally named SS109, in the 1970s. The purpose of M855 ammo was to create a standardized NATO cartridge that could be used in multiple service rifles. These rifles included the M16 family, FAMAS, CETME-L, Steyr AUG, and FN Minimi light machine gun.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The round needed to meet certain performance standards like stable flight and penetration potential at longer distances. In order to meet these standards, the round\u2019s designers added a 7-grain steel tip insert to the bullet, moving the round\u2019s center of gravity back and changing the bullet weight from the standard 55-grain to 62-grain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In order to be used by the military, the new round also needed to be able to penetrate a .135\u201d steel plate (similar to the steel helmets from World War II) at 800 yards. The steel insert gave the bullet the ability to pass these penetration tests which eventually led to its adoption by the US Military.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For civilian shooters, green tip ammo is often an affordable choice for high round count range days. Several different ammo manufacturers produce M855 ammo, so it is easy to find. However, the round can be hard on steel targets and range backstops, so many ranges do not allow the round.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Is Green Tip Ammo Legal?<\/h3>\n<p>Despite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nraila.org\/articles\/20160217\/m855-a-one-year-retrospective\">attempts to ban the M855 round<\/a>, it is still legal for civilians to purchase. Some states may have restrictions as to who may buy it, so be sure to check your local laws.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Will 5.56 Green Tip Penetrate Body Armor?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6370 size-full\" title=\"american eagle m855\" src=\"https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/americaneaglem855.jpg\" alt=\"three rounds and a box of american eagle green tip m855 ammo\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1182\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/americaneaglem855.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/americaneaglem855-300x177.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/americaneaglem855-1024x605.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/americaneaglem855-768x454.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/americaneaglem855-1536x908.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/americaneaglem855-200x118.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/americaneaglem855-750x443.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/americaneaglem855-1140x674.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">M855 ammo can technically penetrate some light body armor. As we mentioned above, for the US Military to adopt the round, it needed to be able to penetrate a .135\u201d steel plate at 800 yards. That&#8217;s why many ranges don&#8217;t allow it. So while M855 will likely punch through some armor, it does not have the same armor piercing abilities as M995 &#8220;black tip&#8221; 5.56 ammo which has a tungsten core.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It is also worth noting that the ATF does not classify M855 as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atf.gov\/resource-center\/docs-0\/download\">armor piercing<\/a>. That&#8217;s because the projectile contains lead. The ATF says in order to be classified as armor piercing, the projectile must be entirely made of or a combination of the following: tungsten alloys, steel, iron, brass, bronze, beryllium copper or depleted uranium.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>M855 versus M193<\/h3>\n<p>M855 is the military&#8217;s 62 grain 5.56 round, M193 is a mil-spec 55-grain load for 5.56&#215;45 shooters. M193 is somewhat faster out of the barrel, thanks to the lighter weight. Generally, shooters equipped with a 1:12 twist rate barrel opt for M193.<\/p>\n<p>M855 is more common for military use but the slightly lower price point still delivers a sizable marketshare for the M193.<\/p>\n<h2>M855 Ballistics<\/h2>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-238\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-238\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><\/td><th class=\"column-2\">Muzzle Velocity (FPS)<\/th><th class=\"column-3\">500-yard Velocity (FPS)<\/th><th class=\"column-4\">Muzzle Energy (ft-lbs)<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-striping row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/556-nato-pmc-xtac-62gr-fmj-m855-1000.php\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">PMC X-TAC 62gr.

However, when it comes to terminal ballistics, the green tip M855 round does not have the best reputation. The round reliably tumbles upon impact of targets within 100 yards. However, at greater distances, the M855 often passes right through soft targets without inflicting much damage. That&#8217;s why if you&#8217;re looking for a defensive or hunting round for greater distances, green tip ammo might not be the best choice.<\/p>\n<h3>Final Thoughts<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6369 size-full\" title=\"green tip ammo can\" src=\"https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/greentipammocan.jpg\" alt=\"an ammo can filled with green tip ammo\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1408\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/greentipammocan.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/greentipammocan-300x211.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/greentipammocan-1024x721.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/greentipammocan-768x541.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/greentipammocan-1536x1081.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/greentipammocan-200x141.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/greentipammocan-750x528.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/greentipammocan-1140x803.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re in the market for an affordable and reliable round for your AR-15, it&#8217;s hard to go wrong with green tip ammo like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/556-nato-pmc-xtac-62gr-fmj-m855-1000.php\">PMC X-TAC 5.56 62gr.<\/a> FMJ or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/556-nato-winchester-m855-62gr-fmj-1000.php\">Winchester 5.56 62gr.
