6.8x43mm SATO

The 6.8x43mm SATO is a rimless, bottlenecked intermediate rifle cartridge used by the United Nations Space Command as standard ammunition in assault rifles and light machine guns.
== Overview ==
The 6.8x43mm is a small-caliber high-velocity cartridge developed from the 21st century 6.8mm Remington SPC. The cartridge case is made from high-durability polymer, reducing weight by 30% compared to brass casings, leading to a subsequent reduction in the amount of weight carried by individual soldiers. The cartridge offers a high muzzle velocity due to the use of copper thermite gel propellant which is much more energetic than smokeless powder. Standard armor-piercing bullets consist of an alloy core, tungsten-carbide penetrator, and cupronickle jacket, with a standard weight of 90 grains. These rounds have an average velocity of 1,100 meters per second when fired from a 20 inch barrel.
