SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -(Ammoland.com)- AMMO, Inc. (POWW), a technology leader and premier American ammunitions manufacturer, today announced its newest product offering, STREAK Visual Ammunition.
AMMO, Inc. holds the exclusive worldwide rights for the incredible patented technology used to make the STREAK products. STREAK is one of the most technologically advanced ammunition to hit the market in decades.
“We are beyond excited to bring STREAK Visual Ammunition to the market. Our acquisition of the exclusive rights for the STREAK technology is a game changer for both our company as well as the shooting industry. Once you shoot with STREAK and you can actually see your projectile travel throughout its path, you will be bored by shooting normal ammunition”, said AMMO, Inc.’s CEO, Fred Wagenhals.
Unlike conventional tracers, STREAK rounds are NOT incendiary, they don’t use burning metals to generate light. Replacing fire-hazard burning metals is non-flammable phosphor material that utilizes the light emitted during the discharging of the round to make STREAK glow.
STREAK does NOT generate heat, making STREAK rounds safe to use in environments where traditional tracers are prohibited and can be a serious fire hazard.
The results are game-changing in many aspects for the consumer, law enforcement and military.
The glowing material used is applied only to the aft end of the projectile, making it only visible to the shooter and those within a 30-degree viewing window. Military and law enforcement appreciate that unlike conventional tracers STREAK’s glow is not visible to the target.
STREAK ammunition is currently available in 9mm, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP. The STREAK line will expand to include hollow points, a wider range of calibers and will be available in both red and yellow/green colors.

I think its worth a box, I have certainly paid more for defensive ammo. Maybe not more for range ammo though. I just ordered a box of 9 and one of 45 to try them out. Might be a hoot!
Get your platinum cards out folks. I went to their website and as soon as I saw that they were marketing a “Jesse James” line of ammunition (the bike builder) I knew this was not only boutique but mega expensive boutique. As for the price, you can’t even buy it yet. They’re hyping the hell out of it, “get in on this”, “be the first to…”, you get the idea.
Hey, I love capitalism and wish them well but I’m a cheapskate so I’m afraid I’ll just let this train roll out of the station without me.
This seems like another high value boutique marketing gimmick like zombie rounds and Jesse James ammo. I buy my ammunition in bulk and I *might* pay 1 penny per round extra for a streak round. I *might* even buy one box but thats likely it. But I will buy 1,000’s of rounds from somewhere else until their price comes wayy down…
Interesting product, now available only for a few handgun cartridges. But given that most handgun defensive uses are within 7 yards and most handguns do not have a suppressor, I really wonder how visible the glowing bullet base will be during its short trip from muzzle to target, especially when you factor in the muzzle flash.
How about in 5.56/.223? It would be nice to have a glowing round 6 from the bottom to let me know a magazine change is due.
I just pay attention to the holes in the paper or the “ping” of the steel plate. Seems to me the hole/ping is pretty much going to follow the “glow” of the bullet anyway. If they offered these at, oh, say $80-$90 per 1,000 of 9mm I might be interested. For now I’ll just stick with plated or jacketed and buy them on sale from my vendors of choice. I used to cast, still do every now and then, but the shine off those bright newly cast bullet bases was always very distracting.
