The need for security in Europe is increasing significantly, due to the current threat of terrorist attacks. Unfortunately, the equipment of regular police forces is insufficient to respond to potential attacks. Ammunition that is capable of stopping violence immediately and effectively should be available in every police car or emergency vehicle, together with the appropriate gun.
One thing is evident: the cartridges in caliber 9 mm Para or Luger, which have been used by most European police forces so far, are hardly suitable for fighting terrorism. For ballistic reasons, they lack the power that is needed for an effective operation. This is also true if the cartridges are fired from a submachine gun. This is where the new ATS® comes into play.
Stopping Power!
The ATS® in caliber 12/70 has an extremely hard slug weighing 27.5 g (424 gr.). Within usual shooting distances of up to approx. 50 meters, it shows an outstanding stopping power and can be used with any type of shotgun barrel.
