Here is the result of a buddy of mine who has never shot an HK in FA performing a mag dump using DAG ammo at 50 yards out of my G3K during range day yesterday.

Result: IMHO the DAG ammo is definitely lethal which is accompanied by small spray of plastic shrapnel that is the result of the projo separating from the plastic case.

I'd never heard of plastic live ammo before. It's clearly not for force on force training, so what's the ultimate purpose? Just to be cheaper? IS it significantly cheaper than normal ammo?

Cool thanks for sharing Mark!

Cheaper range training ammo. Idea is it is not as powerful as field ammo, in most range training scenarios you do not need full power ammo. Saved the german govt ammo expense and allowed more live fire as a result.


Great video, one more project to get done! Thanks for the motivation.

It's purpose is for me to play machine gun with, cheaply. Report and recoil is very similar to shooting .223. Dan's Ammo is selling it for $189 per 1000 rounds landed. My G3 loves this stuff!

I love the DAG training ammo. I stocked up on 5000 rounds of it. It runs great through my PTR91 with the UB Training bolt.

 

[Obiefox]

Love the stuff!

Hurts my pocket just watching the video!

Not when you pick it up for $120 per 1k. :28:

But you need the bolt group, and I'm guessing it's no longer $120/k?

Can you shoot this ammo on an indoor shooting range?
Is it readily available?
Are there any other caliber available? How about 9mm?


Thank You,

Kelly

As for 9mm; You need to consider Swedish-K 9mm training stuff. It was readily available about ten years ago for ~$35 per 1000 rounds, landed. Most people wanted the stuff not for the ammo, but for the steel 36 round stripper clips. The tip of the bullet contains a 5mm steel BB which is the actual projectile. Other than the BB, the rest of the 'bullet' is consumed upon firing the cartridge. Without a special barrel, shooting this stuff in a 9mm weapon will cause damage to the barrel's bore as the BB just bounces down the barrel.

True. I paid $450 for the bolt and 1000 rounds from a fellow HKProer, then bought another 4000 rounds at $120.

So I guess, it's really $186 per 1k if you look at it like that. Now, I guess the ammo is still available at $189 at Dan's, so I guess I can't really get it much cheaper than that. Still though, it's shooting .308 full auto for about the same price as steel or reloaded 9mm. Not too bad, considering the volume of 9mm that I put through my various sear hosts.

Just making sure you didn't have a secret supplier of this ammo other than Dan. I bought the bolt and a case of ammo way back and stashed it. Looks like I need to go play with this. Thanks.

Wideners was selling cases for about $90 bucks a few years back...

I love the stuff and have a bunch of it. With a bolt cut down to 51 size, it is an absolute riot to shoot. In fact, I have not taken my sear out of the 51 with the training bolt for over 2 years...cheap, accurate, loud, fireball ammo.
