Interesting. I collect cartridges, and have never seen one.

I've heard of it before. I believe somebody called it a "Starfire" round? If it's the one I'm thinking of, it's supposed to create lots of bright light when it hits something solid. Might be considered a type of incindiary like the other site suggests. MJD

Incendiary Round. N.A.M. (Northern Arizona Munitions) manufactures such a round. Occasionally AmmunitionToGo.Com. has some of this ammo available, but be warned...it's never cheap. The round explodes and then burns @ 3000 degrees apon impact with a hard object (metal/rocks/concrete/ect.)

Hope this helps...

If it is indeed from N.A.M, it is absolutely fantastic ammo! (the company also makes a Tracer / Incendiary round that is phenomenal as well).

Real crowd pleasers!

I just bought a box of 100 of them . The guy told me thew were subsonic, but I did not think they were, so I wanted to look around first and find out some more about them. I guess I got a good find.
