Allegiance sent two flavors to test, a 110 grain compressed tungsten version and a more traditional jacketed 97 grain version. Out on the range we tested the ammo in a number of different conditions. That’s an intriguing mix, and while I didn’t have enough samples to take some hunting, I was able to confirm that the projectiles will harmlessly fragment on impact with a steel plate. Instead of a standard solid lead projectile the bullet is made of compressed tungsten powder.Īccording to Allegiance this allows the round to penetrate soft tissue for self defense or hunting scenarios while still fragmenting on impact for harder targets like steel plates for training. Something that makes SiletStrike extra special is the projectile Allegiance uses. No alterations are required to the firearm, all you need load the ammo in a magazine and you’re good to go. 223 Remington ammo (interchangeable with 5.56 NATO, a concept I’m sure will fill the comment section below with many opinionated responses on why I’m an idiot and completely wrong) with some interesting characteristics.Īllegiance’s SilentStrike line of ammo is designed as a drop-in subsonic replacement for your rifle’s standard diet of 5.56 NATO cartridges. They’ve started producing a couple different flavors of subsonic. That’s one of the reasons why the 300 AAC Blackout round has become so popular: how easy it was to go from supersonic to quiet-as-a-churchmouse subsonic without changing the gun.Īllegiance Ammunition doesn’t seem to have listened to the conventional wisdom.
In order to slow down that projectile so that it doesn’t break the sound barrier (and create the sonic “crack” that makes even suppressed guns sound loud) you would need to increase the weight of the bullet, and getting the balance just right is extremely difficult.
