New Ammunition Will Decrease Fragments In Close Urban Environment. U.S. Army Sgt. Christopher Harmon, from Bravo Troop, 5th Squadron, 3rd Battalion, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 73rd Cavalry Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division, executes a shotgun breach of a door lock during a house by house clearance operation in Aksabah, Iraq, Aug. 17, 2007. The Army recently approved a new anti-material cartridge, the M1030. The M1030 is designed as a breaching munition, used for defeating wooden doors, deadbolts, knobs, hinges and padlock hasps. The design of the munition minimizes ricochet hazards currently associated with buckshot breaching and provides a much safer alternative to the Soldier. Photo by Staff Sgt. Martin K.
