AMMUNITION SEALING

Hughes Precision provide predictable ammunition for unpredictable environments.

Ammunition is not traditionally sealed against water, and the casing is not sufficient protection in inclement weather or marine environments.

Our sealants ensure reliable ammunition performance and result in improved ballistic accuracy.

Ammunition can be freely moved through and below water environments.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

Hughes Precision has a unique ammunition sealing process to ensure that ammunition is waterproofed and can be taken into and under water environments without losing functionality.

  • Adhesives are stronger and lighter than steel
  • Reduce time spent on welding and riveting
  • Fast and consistent dispensing with custom dispensing equipment
  • Timed triggered dispensing 

We have custom built machines. These machines are outfitted with a bowl feeder or robotic arms to enhance the loading process and can easily seal up to 300 rounds per minute.
