Shell Shock Technologies and CBC Global Ammunition have locked in a long-term manufacturing pact that turns a June 2026 collaboration, first marked at Eurosatory in Paris, into a binding partnership. CBC will license, produce, and sell ammunition built on SST’s NAS3 cases across several military and civilian calibers, including 5.56×45, 7.62×51, 6.8×51, .338 Lapua, .50 BMG, and 9mm.

The deal adds dedicated tooling, extra SST production and engineering space in Michigan, and CBC output in Oklahoma tied to a large plant CBC has planned for the state’s northeast. Together those sites are meant to take NAS3 from proven design to high-volume supply for buyers worldwide.

SST, based in Eubank, Kentucky, makes the cases from stainless steel and aerospace aluminum so they are lighter and tougher than conventional brass.
