Ammunition

For a period of time in 2009 and early 2010 there was something of a shortage of popular calibers of ammunition in the US.

This was due to ammunition manufacturers being swamped with government orders and the prices of materials such as copper and brass rising.

If you mean a .22 Long Rifle cartridge, see the link at the bottom of this page.

No. While there are several different 9mm cartridges, none of them interchange with a 7.62 cartridge. You need to clarify your question- there is no such cartridge as a 7.62 9mm. There are 7.62 pistols, but 9mm is a caliber, not a type of firearm.

metric vs inch measurement

Of course! It's 9x19mm or 9mm Parabellum. The German Luger also used the 9x19mm.

DO NOT SHOOT AMMUNITION IN A WEAPON NOT CHAMBERED FOR IT. If you do, bad things will happen.

Today I shot my new Savage .308 and used Federal 7.62X51 FMJ ammo, grouping nicely at 100 yards. I went to Remington Core-Lokt .308 rounds and both my dad and I had a hard time keeping tight groupings. From what I hear a fair number of guns have some preference. I just haven't found the right round for deer hunting yet, as the FMJ simply will not do. I also await an answer to this question.

Projectile expansion or projectile tumbling.

From the .44 Magnum article on answers.com, "Despite the ".44" designation, all guns chambered for the .44 Magnum case, and its parent case, the http://www.answers.com/topic/44-special, use bullets of approximately 0.429in. (10.9 mm) in diameter.http://www.answers.com/topic/44-magnum#cite_note-lyman-3"

Yes.

Any type of Unexploded bombs that have been abandoned

The M-1911A1,45 caliber automatic pistol holds 7 cartridges in the magazine, and can have one more chambered. The .45 caliber REVOLVER which dated from after the civil war up thru WW I, held 6 cartridges

I think you're asking about hollow point bullets. ? they have a hollow tip (duh) that when they hit something the tip explodes through the target, and the shrapnel causing massive amounts of damage while the bullet does not penetrating as deep.

good luck

Nope. The term is FRANGIBLE bullet. They are constructed of material that causes them to break apart when striking a hard surface- but they are not hollowpoints. Materials have included powdered iron, pressed into a mold, or bakelite type plastics. Not too common, they were created for special uses, such as training aerial gunners. When they hit a hard surface, they break into dust- so no flying off at angles.

No

.380 auto ammunition can be a "ball" style bullet or metal jacketed hollow point.

No, buy .50 Action Express, much more stopping power.

Nope. 357 magnum cartridge is too long, and too powerful.

Varies from the 40's to the 70's

In excess of two miles

Yes. It contains powder which is an explosive. If you burn a Shotgun round or pistol/rifle cartridges, they it would explode.

Powder is a propellant that explodes in a 'shell' in the 'chamber' of a firearm. This propels the projectile (bullet, shot). This controlled explosion is set of by the firing pin of a firearm hitting the 'primer'.

Ammo associated with ADAK island in AK

Yes

.001 inches. Makes a difference depending on what you are shooting, how old the barrel is, etc..

380 ACP, 9mm Kurz

Do not attempt to use ammunition in a weapon not chambered for it.
