Cartridge (firearms) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (2779 words)
This cartridge was used with the muzzle-loading military firearm, the base of the cartridge being ripped or bitten off by the soldier, the powder poured into the barrel, and the bullet then rammed home. Central-fire cartridges with solid-drawn metallic cases containing their own means of ignition are almost universally used in all modern varieties of military and sporting rifles and pistols . Blanks may also be used to launch a rifle grenade, although later systems used a grenade designed to capture a bullet from a conventional round, speeding deployment and negating the risk of mistakenly firing a ball round up the back-side of a rifle grenade on the end of one's own gun.
Cartridge (weaponry) (2289 words)
The lethality of pistol ammunition is not limited by the ammunition, but by the accuracy and doctrine of the shooter. The standard size for a submachine gun is a pistol cartridge , generally 9mm or (on WWII tommy guns and grease guns).45 calibre. A clip is simply a case of cartridges which is dropped into the magazine; a charger is a strip of metal holding the bases of the cartridges , and is placed over the magazine, the cartridges being pressed out into the latter.
