No, it is chambered for the 5.45 X 39MM.

It’s a sharp little round with a tungsten core, surrounded by lead and copper. It is specifically designed to punch through NATO spec body armor and tumble.

I bought one simply because the ammo was very cheap and came in SPAM cans.

The ammo (per Obama ATF about 3 months ago) is now deemed “armor piercing handgun ammo” (despite no pistol being made for it) and illegal to produce or import — so I am rather happy to be sitting on 20,000 rounds.

First time on the range I was punching through the target and raising dust out on the backstop berm.
