Quick Tip: DON'T Shoot this AR-15 Ammo at Your Local Range!
This video clarifies which 5.56mm ammunition types are generally prohibited at local shooting ranges. Steel-core M855 'green tip' rounds can damage steel targets, while M856 'red tip' tracers pose fire hazards. Armor-piercing M995 'black tip' rounds are strictly forbidden. Standard lead-core or polymer-tipped ammunition without specific markings is typically safe for range use.
