What is the difference between a 380 caliber and a 9mm and a 9mm luger?
Good answer below. The "9mm Luger" is properly the 9mm Parabellum, but it is also called the Luger. There are about a dozen different cartridges with 9mm in their name, but the 9mm Luger is the best known.
If you mean the .45 ACP (.45 Auto) the velocity at the muzzle depends on the load of the particular cartridge. Typically somewhere between 830 and 1080 feet per second.
Is a back ground check required for buying ammo for a rifle in Georgia?
No. However, if a person is barred by Federal or State law from possessing a gun- such as a person that has been convicted of a felony (serious crimes such as murder, rape, robbery, theft, etc) they may also NOT possess ammunition- and may be prosecuted and jailed if found to possessany ammunition.
How much will the bullet drop in2700 ft 150grain 30-6?
That depends on the type of bullet, the initial velocity, and the angle at which it is fired. A ballistics calculator is the best way to find the answer.
Is it safe to shoot 308 win ammo out of a 762x51mm 308 cetme rifle?
NO! While dimensionally similar, the civilian .308 Winchester cartridge is a higher power than the 7.62 NATO cartridge. There was also a 7.62 CETME cartridge that is loaded lighter than the 7.62 NATO cartridge. Possibility of injury and damage to firearm.
According to Lyman the only difference worth noting is that the Nato Cartridge uses a thicker casing, giving it less loading capacity, about 2 grains. The external is not just similar but exactly the same dimensions. The 7.62 Cetme uses a lighter bullet of 112gr as opposed to a 147gr or 150gr, only for the purpose of less recoil firing from a fully auto firearm. Any variation in pressure readings between Nato and the US SAAMI is because Nato uses CUP pressure readings while SAAMI uses PSI. Unless your owners manual specifically says not to use one or the other, there is no major difference when it comes to safe firing, otherwise SAAMI would have made a clear separation between the cartridges and they have not.
38 special ammo in a s and m 36-1?
If your question is in regard to the Smith and Wesson Model 36 revolver, these were made in caliber .38 Special and that IS the ammunition to use in one. The 36-1 is an early model, and may not be suited to the use of +P or +P+ .38 Special ammunition, which is loaded to higher energy levels than standard ammunition. If you are seeking info on use of +P ammo in a specific S&W revolver, you should contact customer service for Smith & Wesson.

What was the ammo of the Gatling gun?

Will Makarov 9X18 ammo load and fire in a Springfield XD9?
The Makarov ammunition has a case (the brass shell containing the explosive powder behind the bullet) which is one millimeter shorter than the 9mm Luger which is also commonly called 9mm Parabellum (meaning "for war"). There are two major concerns with firing a foreign cartridge through a gun that was not built for the round: one is the size/shape and the other the power of the load. In this case, the shape is different in that there is a millimeter missing from the Makarov, which could potentially cause errors in feeding the ammunition through a semi-automatic. The main problem is that the muzzle energy and the velocity of the 9x19 Parabellum are higher than the Makarov, and the detonation of the Parabellum develops much higher chamber pressures than the Makarov. Because of this, the Makarov ammunition is used in semiautomatics with a different design than the 9mm Parabellum. If you tried to fire it through a locked-breech pistol (which many 9mm Parabellum pistols use) and ones with stronger springs, it is highly likely that the gun will jam because the Makarov cannot generate enough energy to open the slide and properly eject the shell. In general, if you want to use a round in your weapon that is not standard, it MUST be a weaker round or you may seriously injure yourself. Second, if there is any kind of discrepancy in the sizes or shapes of your cartridge (such as a bottlenecked cartridge or a shorter cartridge) then it's usually not worth trying it.
What is the difference between 223 ammo and 556MM ammo?
While they are similar, the cartridges are not the same, with slight differences in the shoulder angle, length of neck. It is safe to fire .223 in a weapon chambered for 5.56, but 5.56 ammo in a weapon chambered for .223 may NOT be safe.
Why do people use hollow point ammo?
Some target ammunition for rifles has a hollowpoint shape to provide increased accuracy, however, the term hollow point is most commonly associated with handgun ammunition.
When used in a defense role, hollow point bullets may expand on impact. This transfers more energy to the target, by expanding produces a proportionately larger wound, and increases the likelihood of stopping an attacker.
How far will a 22 caliber bullet fall at 100 yards?
Can't be answered without knowing the projectile weight and muzzle velocity
