Tungsten Alloy Super Shot (TSS)

Superior Advantages of Tungsten Alloy Super Shot (TSS)-Ultra-high density, excellent penetration:

Extremely High Density: Tungsten alloys are much denser than traditional materials such as lead and steel. FOTMA’s tungsten alloy projectiles have a density of up to 18g/cm³, nearly twice that of lead bullets, giving them greater kinetic energy and penetration.

Efficient Penetration: Higher density means that a smaller projectile can carry more kinetic energy, allowing it to easily penetrate and deliver a lethal blow, even if the target is protected by heavy fur or bone.

Longer range: Higher density gives the projectile an excellent ballistic coefficient, which makes it less affected by wind resistance during flight, more stable flight trajectory, and longer effective range.

Superior ballistic performance:

More accurate ballistic trajectory: High density and ideal sphericity make FOTMA tungsten alloy projectiles fly on a more stable trajectory, reduce deflection and dispersion, and improve shooting accuracy.

Less wind resistance: High density means that the projectile is better able to overcome air resistance in flight, allowing it to maintain faster speeds and more kinetic energy at long range.

Narrower Dispersal: With a more stable trajectory, the projectile falls in a more concentrated manner, reducing ineffective shots and improving hunting efficiency.

Superior Durability and Safety:

No deformation: Tungsten alloy is extremely hard, and is not easily deformed even under high-speed impact, which ensures the penetration and consistency of the projectile.

Non-pollution: Tungsten alloy is an environmentally friendly material that does not contain toxic substances, reducing potential harm to the environment and human body, making it an ideal substitute for lead shots.

High Reliability: After strict quality control and many tests, it ensures that the size, weight and performance of each projectile are highly consistent, which guarantees the reliability of shooting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) used for?

A1: TSS is commonly used in high-performance shotgun ammunition due to its extreme density and hardness, allowing smaller pellets to deliver deeper penetration and tighter patterns—ideal for hunting waterfowl, turkey, and upland game.

Q2: How does TSS compare to traditional lead or steel shot?

A2: TSS has a density of up to 18.5 g/cm³, significantly higher than lead (~11.3 g/cm³) and steel (~7.8 g/cm³). This means smaller pellets deliver more energy and maintain velocity over longer distances, improving accuracy and lethality.

Q3: What material grades are available for tungsten super shot?

A3: FOTMA offers multiple grades including:

• 90W-Ni-Fe: 16.9–17.0 g/cm³, elongation 20–33%
• 93W-Ni-Fe: 17.5–17.6 g/cm³
• 95W-Ni-Fe: 18.0–18.1 g/cm³
• 97W-Ni-Fe: 18.4–18.5 g/cm³, highest density and hardness

Each grade varies in tensile strength and hardness (HRC 24–35) depending on tungsten percentage.

Q4: Is TSS environmentally friendly?

A4: Yes. Unlike lead, tungsten alloys are non-toxic and do not contaminate soil or water, making TSS a safer alternative for both wildlife and ecosystems, especially in regions with lead shot restrictions.

Q5: Can TSS be customized for military or non-hunting applications?

A5: Absolutely. Beyond hunting, TSS is used in aerospace ballasts, defense components, and precision counterweights. FOTMA offers custom manufacturing based on technical specifications or CAD drawings.
