M72 Anti-Structure Munition A12

The Nammo M72 Anti-Structure Munition (A12) combines decades of innovation and Nammo expertise to deliver a world-leading close combat weapon. Disposable, easy to operate, and extremely lightweight and powerful, the M72 A12 provides significantly improved performance to the M72 A9 (Legacy ASM). The autonomous dual-mode fuze functions in fast (hard target) and delay (soft target) modes, while the optimized steel warhead body delivers increased fragmentation and ballistic performance. The M72 A12 is effective against brick, adobe, earthen fortifications, technical vehicles, 1/2 inch glass and exterior doors.
