LEOPARD 1A5NO2
7.62x51MM DEFINITION & MIXTURE

Hello, I have been doing some research on Norwegian ammunition and its use on some vehicles, where I have found some information about the 7.62x51mm ammunition used by Norway.

After Norway adopted the AG3 Rifle, the NM60 and NM62 cartridges were put into production. These cartridges were also used in the machine guns you had, but then they were put in bands where the order of the mixture was NM60-NM60-NM60-NM60-NM62, so 4x NM60 and 1x NM62 with tracer after. The “NM” in NM60/62 means “Norwegian Model”

Just creating an article here to show the information
