Superior Ballistics
for Tactical Advantage

Setting New Standards in Shotgun Ammunition Performance

At Tungsten Munitions Corp (TMC), every round is engineered with a single goal: outperform conventional alternatives in every critical measure of tactical ballistic performance. Built exclusively from high-density, American-sourced tungsten, our munitions deliver the energy, consistency, and precision demanded by today’s military, law enforcement, and government operations.

When the mission is critical and the margin for error is zero, TMC’s tungsten-based ammunition provides undeniable superiority.

Extreme Density = Higher Impact

    • Greater downrange energy retention for maximum stopping power

    • Flatter trajectories over longer distances

    • Enhanced penetration against hardened barriers (automotive glass, steel doors)

      Tungsten boasts a density of 18.1 g/cc — nearly 65% heavier than lead and more than 130% heavier than steel. This density advantage delivers:

    In combat scenarios where every shot must count, tungsten provides ballistic capabilities that lead, steel, and bismuth simply cannot match.

    Tight, Predictable Shot Patterns

    Tungsten’s superior mass resists dispersion better than lighter materials, resulting in:

    • Tighter pattern density at extended ranges

    • Higher pellet counts on target

    • Reduced spread for increased accuracy

    Whether engaging a fast-moving drone at 75 yards or breaching a reinforced structure, tighter shot patterns translate to mission success and minimized collateral exposure.

    Superior Penetration: Barriers and Armor

    Because of its extreme hardness and mass, tungsten shot consistently outperforms traditional materials in defeating:

    • Automotive glass

    • Steel doors and sheet metal

    • Reinforced composites

    • Ballistic glass barriers

    TMC’s BX Series, in particular, was specifically engineered to provide maximum barrier defeat in urban and tactical environments where conventional buckshot fails.

    Resilience Under Stress

    Unlike lead or bismuth, tungsten shot maintains structural integrity under extreme stresses, including:

     

    • High-velocity impacts

    • Multiple hard-surface contacts

    • Thermal fluctuations across operational environments

    Minimal deformation ensures that shot retains aerodynamic stability and kinetic energy from muzzle to targe

Measurable Performance Advantages

Energy Retention Testing (50 yards)

  • Tungsten Shot: 72% retained kinetic energy

  • Lead Shot: 55% retained kinetic energy

  • Steel Shot: 38% retained kinetic energy

Barrier Penetration Testing (Automotive Glass at 30 yards)

  • Tungsten Shot: >95% pellet pass-through

  • Lead Shot: 60% pellet pass-through

  • Steel Shot: 20% pellet pass-through

Pattern Testing (30” circle at 50 yards)

  • Tungsten Shot: 87% pattern density

  • Lead Shot: 65% pattern density

  • Steel Shot: 45% pattern density

These test results consistently confirm what operational teams already know: tungsten delivers unmatched lethality, precision, and barrier performance in real-world environments.

Built for Tactical Missions. Proven in Performance Testing.

Every TMC load undergoes comprehensive QA and ballistic testing before shipment, ensuring:

  • Shot size uniformity (within 0.10 mm tolerance)

  • Velocity consistency (within 5% of stated muzzle velocity)

  • Payload mass accuracy (within ±1%)

  • Pattern consistency across environmental variables (wind, temperature)

We don’t ship batches that meet “minimum standards” — we ship rounds that exceed tactical expectations.
