jshoneyActual M193 Specs
I have found a ton of articles online that give parts of the spec, but does anyone have a copy of, or have a link to the actual spec. Our company wants to make our version of MIL SPEC 5.56 for possible local govt purchase and we need to know everything. Velocity, Pressures, the whole nine yards.
