| Experimental Colt ~ Winchester 5.56x45mm DUPLEX Phase (3) DAAA21-86-0367 |
| In the late 1980s Colt & Winchester
submitted a few different experimental "Duplex" (2 projectiles to the cartridge, one behind the other) to the US Military Trials. These are one type for those "Phase III" experimental trial tests. The idea of the duplex cartridge loading is to launch two projectiles per firing to increase the odds of hitting the target (and/or) two holes in the enemy is better than one. I believe they would of had problems keeping the second projectile in place inside the case without the extended neck version and the idea never really caught on; (to my limited knowledge) the U.S. Military does not use or have any duplex cartridges in their arsenal.
