Paramilitary ammunition is a type of firearm ammunition not used by the armed forces but retains combat capabilities and sold commercially to civilians or used by various law enforcement/government organisations. Paramilitary rounds are mostly more suited for internal security, close quarter battle, street combat and urban warfare rather than open field environments.
Examples[]
- .223 Remington and .308 Winchester, which are both commercially sold variants of ammunition issued to NATO forces.
- Various less than lethal rounds used for riot control such as Baton rounds.
- Personal defence weapon ammunition such as the 5.7×28mm.
- Shotgun shell variations.
- Overpressure pistol rounds with combat capability such as .38 Super, .357 SIG, .40 S&W, 10mm Auto.
- Hollowpoint/Expanding bullets such as Black Talon and Hydra-Shok.
- Armour penetrating Teflon-coated bullets and various Vest busters.
- Carbine/Intermediate rounds such as 6.8mm Remington SPC and .300 AAC Blackout.
