4 AMMO GUIDE TAP URBAN® The TAP Urban® line is designed for non-barrier engagements in urban environments where reducing the risk of over-penetration is crucial. Utilizing polymer-tipped bullets ensures rapid expansion which provides dramatic wound cavities, massive fragmentation, and prevents over penetration. TAP Urban® is the preferred choice for use in SBRs, carbines, and rifles when the probability for barrier penetration is low. TAP PATROL® TAP Patrol® is specifically designed to provide consistent and reliable performance through the FBI protocol when fired through 14,5"-16" / 368 mm – 406 mm barrelled, 1:7 – 1:9 / 1:178 mm – 1:229 mm twist patrol rifles. The lead-free Heavy Barrier™ bullet features a flat polymer tip, which allows it to provide “barrier blind” performance ensuring consistent penetration depths. The flat tip design ensures the bullet will not plug with material from the barriers and ensures feeding through the wide variety of patrol rifle platforms. TAP Patrol® ammunition is loaded with temperature stable, low flash propellant designed to work when you do. TAP® BARRIER™ Hornady ® originally developed this ammunition to meet the requirement for a high-speed, barrier penetrating bullet that could be used for nuclear power plant security. The design of TAP ® Barrier™ allows the projectile to maintain its structural integrity while punching through barriers, yet still initiates expansion in soft tissue. Ideal application for open air and steel door engagements. . Hornady® offers a range of law enforcement ammunition designed for specific tactical needs, including urban environments, barrier penetration, short-barrelled rifles, and long-range precision. The following offerings provide superior performance, reliability, and safety across various mission-critical situations. TAP® HEAVY BARRIER™ TAP® Heavy Barrier™ turns cover into concealment. Loaded with a TAP® Heavy Barrier™ monolithic copper alloy bullet, it shoots cleaner than pure copper bullets, fouls barrels less and delivers devastating terminal performance – even through the toughest barriers. The Heavy Barrier™ bullet penetrates heavy barriers such as 25,4 mm laminated glass with exceptional weight retention while still delivering consistent and reliable expansion. TAP® Heavy Barrier™ is ideal for situations where defeating cover is necessary. TAP SBR® Hornady TAP SBR® is designed specifically for 267 – 292 mm short-barrelled rifles by using proprietary propellants and a bullet designed with technology from industry leading Critical Duty® FlexLock® bullets. TAP SBR® ammunition provides exceptional performance in suppressed or unsuppressed SBR’s. With virtually no flash or residue, TAP SBR® ammunition dramatically reduces sound signature, will not foul or overheat suppressors, delivers uniform velocity and accuracy, and provides controllable rate of fire in automatic platforms. TAP SBR® is the optimum choice for 267 – 292 mm barrelled 5,56x45 NATO rifles. TAP® SUBSONIC TAP® Subsonic ammunition features SUB-X® (Subsonic eXpanding) bullets with patented Flex Tip® technology, specifically designed to expand reliably at subsonic velocities. Loaded with premium, low flash-propellant that is paired with the primer for optimal velocity consistency, TAP® Subsonic ammunition is the preferred choice when terminal performance is a requirement and low sound signature is key.
