7075 T6 forging with anodized hard coat, Type III, class 2 black finish
The 7N6 cartridge uses the
Soviet military issue 5N7-specification 5.45mm FMJ bullet. The
56 gr (3.6 g) boattail projectile has a gilding-metal-clad
jacket. The unhardened steel core is covered by a thin lead coating
which does not fill the entire point end, leaving a hollow cavity
inside the nose. The bullet is cut to length during the manufacturing
process to give the correct weight. The base of the bullet is tapered
to reduce drag and there is a small lead plug crimped in place in the
base of the bullet. The lead plug, in combination with the air space at
the point of the bullet, has the effect of moving the bullet's center
of gravity to the rear; the hollow air space also makes the bullet's
point prone to deformation when the bullet strikes anything solid,
inducing yaw. The brown-lacquered steel case is Berdan-primed. Its
39.37 mm (1.55 in) length makes it slightly longer than the
7.62x39mm case which measures exactly 38.60 mm (1.52 in). The
primer has a copper cup and is sealed with a heavy red lacquer. The
propellant charge is a ball powder with similar burning characteristics
to the WC 844 powder used in 5.56mm NATO ammunition.
