About Jacketed Frangible (JF) Ammunition
These loadings feature bullets with a jacketed exterior and frangible core designed to fragment upon impact with hard surfaces while maintaining effectiveness on soft targets. Developed for training environments and close-quarters applications, the Jacketed Frangible bullet incorporates a traditional copper jacket surrounding a compressed powder or composite core that breaks apart when striking steel or concrete surfaces. The JF design reduces ricochet hazards and over-penetration risks in training facilities while providing reliable feeding characteristics similar to traditional jacketed bullets. These types of loadings are well-suited for tactical training, close-quarters shooting environments, and indoor ranges where reduced ricochet risk and controlled fragmentation are essential for safety while maintaining realistic ballistic performance.Common Jacketed Frangible (JF) CALIBERS
- 5.7x28mm:The 5.7x28mm cartridge is the product of FN Herstal’s response to a NATO request to replace the 9mm Luger. While new cartridges are typically derived from an existing cartridge, the 5.7x28mm was designed from scratch from the ground up by FN Herstal. The cartridge is of the bottlenecked variety and will typically feature a lightweight projectile. When compared to the 9mm Luger it was intended to replace, the 5.7x28mm features roughly 30% less recoil. The high velocity of the round also aids in ensuring that a flat trajectory is achieved. The 5.7x28mm features a very controllable recoil impulse that is paired with a loud report and substantial muzzle flash when fired from a handgun or short barrel. While longer than typical handgun calibers, the 5.7x28mm is slim and has a relatively efficient form factor. This means that magazines for the caliber will often have a considerable ammunition capacity.
