Usually the green tip means it's AP. Check out the Ammo Oracle at the top of the ammo forum. |

I read that last week. Just couldn't remember all of it. Great info. I thought that might be what it meant.

I thought the green tip just indicated that it shouldn't be used in the older rifles with 1/14 and 1/12 twist rates (can't be stabalized)??

Most countries mark M855 / SS109 ammo with the green tip to differentiate it from M193. Like stated here, the old M16's had a 1/12 twist rate barrel that would shoot M193 well, but will not stabalize the new stuff. You can check out the ammo oracle for more detailed information. |

correct. the green tip DOES NOT mean its AP, nit simply deferentiates it from M193 in inventories. foriegn SS109 has no green paint.
