Winchester has been awarded a contract for the construction of the Next Generation Squad Weapon – Ammunition (NGSW-A) manufacturing facility at Lake City Army Ammunition Plant (LCAAP). The project will be the first new manufacturing facility built at LCAAP in decades.

The new manufacturing facility will provide safe, reliable, and advanced NGSW-A to the Joint Warfighter. Winchester will manage all aspects of the construction process, which is projected to start in the second quarter of 2024.

“A dedicated team of Winchester experts have been working on this project in collaboration with the U.S. Government and other industry stakeholders to design a state-of-the-art, small caliber ammunition manufacturing facility,” said Brett Flaugher, president of Winchester Ammunition. “This new facility will ultimately employ hundreds and utilize innovative and transformational small caliber ammunition manufacturing and safety processes.” Read more

G9 Defense External Hollow Point™ (EHP™) 9mm is precision-made defensive handgun ammunition that has unmatched reliability and performance. This state-of-the-art external hollow point does not require expansion to create a devastating wound channel. Instead, it utilizes a unique and patented shape to create cavitation by way of fluid dynamics. The result is, the uniform transfer of energy causing a massive wound channel, 5-6 times larger than traditional hollow points, while consistently penetrating to an optimal depth.

The G9 Defense External Hollow Point features a unique, patented, shape that is also designed for the penetration of common barriers such as windshields, drywall and vehicle sheet metal without deflection or projectile deformation. Machined from solid copper, this unique bullet has no possibility of jacket separation, which often renders other defensive ammunition ineffective. It passes right through common barriers without transferring energy so there is still a consistent and dynamic effect on the intended target. This EHP bullet features proprietary geometry on the exterior of the projectile that produces a barrier blind capability and extreme devastation once it encounters fluid-like media at its intended target.
