The SIG HYP is a semi-auto firearm chambered in 7.62×51mm NATO, built by SIG in United States. From its 406 mm (16.0 in) barrel, Magtech FMJ (147 gr FMJ) leaves the muzzle at about 2666 fps (813 m/s), adjusted from the 610 mm test barrel the figure was measured in. Zeroed at 100 m, the bullet drops 142 mm by 200 m with 2110 J (1556 ft-lb) left. At the muzzle that is enough to defeat Drywall, Plate Glass, Pine Wood, Brick and Kevlar NIJ IIIA, and not enough for AR500 Steel. It feeds from a 30-round magazine.
Computed by the BallisticEngine engine for this barrel length, zeroed at 100 m, 15 °C, sea level, no wind.
