Ammunition

Innovative scope maker, MTC Optics, announces its new, super-compact Copperhead line – a range of riflescopes designed considerably shorter and lighter than ‘convention’, making them more convenient and a better choice for smaller, lighter rifles. 

The world of ammunition is changing fast, lead is being phased out and companies are thinking hard about the plastic waste that shotgun wads leave in our environment. Gun Trade World looks at the changing the landscape of ammunition and one company that has designed an innovative, environmentally friendly wad for the future.

The Fiocchi Group, thanks to Baschieri & Pellagri’s R&D department, has identified a range of technical solutions to manufacture wads made with 100 per cent biodegradable materials, with technical performance in line or better than using traditional plastic materials

With the growing popularity of airguns, the market for airgun pellets has evolved equally fast. Airgunners can make their pick from a wide array of different pellet designs, weights and materials to suit their shooting needs.

In the gun world, having a constant supply of ammunition is essential. Without it, a gun is like a car in lack of fuel, completely useless. Imagine a shooting match without the right kind of ammo. Thanks to proper ammunition, consumers  can put their guns to best use. What’s more, for retailers, ammo sales are simply one of the best ways to encourage repeat business. 

RUAG International has concluded an agreement on the sale of its Ammotec business unit to Beretta Holding.
