For Sale is a 7.62x51 SLAP M948 round from 1988.

These rounds are VERY RARE and have been discontinued since the 90's.

The Saboted Light Armor Penetrator (SLAP) family of firearm ammunition is designed to penetrate armor more efficiently than standard armor-piercing ammunition. In the US it was developed by the Marine Corps during the mid/late 1980s and was approved for service use in 1990 during Operation Desert Storm. It uses a reduced caliber, heavy metal (tungsten) the .308 SLAP round was a .223 inch diameter penetrator core within the .308 inch plastic sabot.

The SLAP design incorporates a polymer sabot, which allows for the use of a tungsten penetrator projectile of a lesser diameter than the original bore. By using the casing of a large cartridge with a lightweight projectile, the velocity of the projectile is greatly increased and the sectional density is improved without requiring a (potentially dangerous) increase in chamber pressure.
