Premium small caliber ammunition offers law enforcement, military and other agencies higher accuracy and greater stopping power. Maximum performance and low collateral damage risk are the most sought after features of any weapon. This is all the more poignant in this era of domestic terror and mounting fears of lone gunmen, radical militants and organized crime – especially as all three may even converge into one major threat

IMI’s combat proven premium small caliber ammunition line offers higher accuracy, more stopping power

Selected IMI products are on display at IMI booth #751 – Level 1 at the Shot Show 2015 at Sands Expo Center in Las Vegas, NV (January 20-23, 2015). The IMI display includes the 9mm Di-Cut round, “Razor-Core” 5.56mm 77 Gr. and 7.62mm 175Gr. LR & .338” LAPUA 250 Gr. sniper ammo.

IMI is the exclusive supplier of small caliber ammunition to Israel’s security agencies, law enforcement and to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

“IMI’s offers rounds that provide maximum performance and low collateral damage risk. What is unique about our new, premium ammunition line is the combination of high accuracy and high stopping power. These two attributes ensure you hit your target, deliver maximum effect but also avoid collateral damage,” said Israel Shmilovitz, VP IMI & Managing Director Small Caliber Ammunition Division.

Law Enforcement and government agency users throughout the world, as well as sportsmen and hunters benefit from IMI’s high performance ammunition products. In recent years the US Army has purchased over 300,000,000 rounds of IMI small caliber ammo. Commended as a reliable, dependable ammunition supplier, IMI has met customer demand, delivering on time and at the highest standards. The company is now expanding its sales channels to Law Enforcement and commercial markets and adding new dealers to its nationwide distribution network.

9mm Di-Cut 115 Grain:
Among the products on display is the 9mm Di-Cut 115 Grain – a premium round designed for self-defense and law enforcement in operational areas requiring high stopping power while avoiding collateral damage. Slits placed on the bullet’s ogive enhance this small caliber round, by creating controlled expansion inside the target, increasing impact and stopping power. Overall, 9mm Di-Cut 115 Grain cartridges have demonstrated superior performance even when tested against higher caliber jacketed hollow-point (JHP) rounds.

“Razor-Core” 5.56mm 77 Grain:
Another high performance round from IMI is the “Razor-Core” 5.56mm 77 Grain offering twice the accuracy of standard NATO M855 5.56 mm rounds.

The ”Razor-Core” also has significantly higher lethality when compared to standard ammunition, as it is designed to stop inside the target thus increasing lethality and reducing the risk of collateral damage. It is designed for use at distances up to 550 Yard (500 m). “Razor-Core“ is being qualified for military use and is operational and proven with Special Forces units

IMI is also offering the following premium rounds designed for snipers:

IMI Long Range Match is a 7.62mm 175 Grain round designed for shooting at distances of up to 880 Yards (800 m). Proven for many years in operational use with Special Forces and SWAT, this premium round is also offered commercially for hunting and sports.

.338” Lapua 250 Grain “Long Range Tactical”: Extending the sniper’s reach beyond 1,100 Yards (1,000 m), IMI’s .338” Lapua 250 Gr. round is designed for extended range sniping as an alternative to the 0.5” Caliber, providing both a lighter carry and more flexible platform for snipers. A fully loaded sniper weapon system firing IMI’s .338” Lapua 250 Gr. rounds would weigh about a third of an equivalent weapon firing 0.5” caliber ammunition.
