Frequently Asked Questions

What is DAG 7.62x51mm plastic ammunition?

DAG 7.62x51mm is a plastic training ammunition designed for affordable practice with .308 Winchester or 7.62x51mm NATO firearms. It costs around $0.20 per round and requires a special training bolt for compatibility with rifles like the G3 or PTR-91.

Do I need a special bolt to fire DAG plastic ammo?

Yes, for G3, HK91, and PTR-91 rifles, you need a specific HK-manufactured training bolt, often marked 'UB'. This bolt is a straight blowback design without rollers, necessary to handle the low recoil of the 10-grain plastic projectile.

How accurate is DAG 7.62x51mm plastic ammunition?

Accuracy tests show the DAG plastic ammunition produces groups of approximately 4 MOA at 50 yards when fired from a PTR-91 or a bolt-action rifle. This is considered sufficient for practical training and target practice, but not match-grade accuracy.

What are the penetration capabilities of DAG plastic ammo?

At close range, the 10-grain plastic projectile demonstrates significant penetration, easily piercing multiple layers of drywall and cinder blocks. However, in ballistic gel, it penetrates only about an inch before bouncing out due to its light weight.
