Small Arms Ammunition

Overview
There are different types of small arms ammunition in Warzone for every firearm available. Most users are most familiar with Full-Metal Jacket (FMJ) ammunition, usually being the first ammunition type unlocked for any conventional gun. However, most shotguns are equipped with Buckshot shells by default and launchers that fire special or explosive munitions have their own ammunition lists and starting ammunition type.

Intermediate Cartridges
Intermediate Cartridges are used in most infantry rifles and carbines, such as the the M16 and AKM. They fill the gap between smaller pistol rounds and big sniper cartridges. As such, they have greater range than handgun cartridges while having less recoil than full-sized sniper ones.

Armor Piercing (AP)
Building the cartridge around a hard-core, Armor Piercing ammunition uses a dense penetrator to retain its shape after striking a target and carry the maximum amount of energy into it as possible.

Handgun Cartridges
Handgun Cartridges are a lot smaller than full-sized sniper rounds and even intermediate cartridges. Their bullet velocity is usually slower than those of the rifle rounds and have typically have less penetration. There are some exceptions, such as the FN 5.7mm round designed to surpass the penetration of regular pistol bullets. However, Handgun Cartridges and their usage in sidearms for their simple firing mechanisms and compact nature are not to be underestimated.

​Hollow Point (HP)
Basically a regular handgun cartridge with its tip hollowed out to produce an expanding round, Hollow Point ammunition sacrifices penetration power in order to cause more damage to a target. The downside of this is that the round will not do as much damage to targets wearing body armor. Additionally, it will be harder or even impossible to hit enemies through walls a normal FMJ round could easily penetrate. This type of round is regularly banned from the battlefield but it seems like nobody follows the rules any more.

​Russian Overpressure (+P+)
As part of a project in the 1980s conducted by the Russian military, codename "Grach" was initiated with the goal of developing an improved version of what arguably is the world's most popular pistol ammunition type, the 9x19mm Parabellum. This take on the 9x19mm cartridge utilizes a lighter bullet, extremely high pressure, and an exposed penetrator to achieve higher armor penetration, though the bullet loses velocity and energy faster. Using the same technology, Russian manufacturers are able to push this product out to other calibers, not just 9x19mm.
