10 x 51mm Sakura

1)

10 x 51mm Sakura is Sakura Machinery’s first proprietary calibre, in essence it is the ever popular 7.62 x 51mm Ketsurui Zaibatsu necked up to accept a very dense 10mm projectile. Initially conceptualized by Remy Belmont in mid YE 42 when she modified her favourite handcannon to accept .45 caliber rounds necked down to 10mm brass bullets. This new cartridge was designed to be used with existing 7.62x51mm weapons almost seamlessly, with only the barrel needing to be changed.

Available in both a full metal jacket and soft-point variant each 650 grain, subsonic, partially telescoped projectile makes use of advanced metallurgy techniques similar to the .45 Kendo Express. Consisting of a thick, pre-scored brass jacket over a dense lead core the projectile’s mass and larger bore contribute a lot to its high lethality, the rounds come in polymer-coated steel casings.

One of the big advantages of this harder-hitting ammo is that it can be fired out of most 7.62x51mm platforms and use regular magazines, requiring just a simple barrel change to accommodate for the larger projectiles. The round is also subsonic, which results in a slightly quieter report.
