Executions

The bullet in the GP 90 cartridge was a lead bullet with a steel cap. There were lead bullets, the exposed part of which was wrapped in paper to protect against corrosion. The GP 90/03 version contained a non-corrosive, mercury-free primer . The GP 90/23 was developed for use in weapons with the caliber 7.5 mm GP 90 and 7.5 × 55 mm Swiss (GP 11).
