Fiocchi's new line of Canned Heat ammunition has been designed for long term storage. The ammunition is sealed in metal can with an oxygen-free nitrogen gas atmosphere to prevent deterioration. The cans themselves have an enamel coating inside and out to insulate them to and prevent corrosion.

The Canned Heat Cyalume shotgun ammunition is something special. These 12 Gauge 3/4 oz #8 shot loads include a chemical tracer made by Cyalume. Cyalume manufactures chemical light sticks. The tracer is simply a short light stick that is activated when the round is fired. Unlike conventional tracers it poses no fire hazard. The technology was jointly developed by Cyalume, Fiocchi, General Beweglich and Rheinmetall Defence.
Unlike the rifle, pistol and rimfire Canned Heat ammunition, the Cyalume shotgun tracers are not in a can for long term storage, but because the glow stick tracers are light sensitive.
Each can contains 10 rounds of tracers.
