Ammunition

DD Form 626

There are various types of ammunition. There are also particular guns that use the recently developed 30 mm ammunition. Among them are aircraft guns and armoured vehicle guns.

Pretty common. That is the .25 Auto cartridge.

Depends on what school of thought you suscribe to.

Here are some examples:

Keep it clean and dry.

Never use it in a weapon not made for it.

Never shoot an unkown reload.

Caliber is .45 GAP (Glock auto pistol)

.32 S&W ammo

Amazon sells a good selection of the decals that look like bullet holes. Also, a good party supply store will likely have the decals without having to purchase them online.

Newton's third law - 'Action and reaction are both equal and opposite.' Basically, when the powder charge inside the bullet ignites, it exerts the same force to backwards as it does to launch the bullet down the barrel. Since the cartridge is fixed inside the chamber, the result is that the gun 'kicks back'.

There are two ways to consider this phenomenon. First, it falls under the general category of Newton's Laws of Motion, that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Secondly, if you examine what is happening in detail, you would see that when a bullet is fired from a gun, there is an explosion which produces a rapidly expanding cloud of gas, which is what pushes the bullet to leave the barrel at high velocity. That same cloud of gas, which pushes the bullet forward, expands in every direction, not just forward, therefore it is also pushing the gun backward. The pressure in the various sideways directions (up or down, right or left) is symmetrical; it presses equally in opposite directions resulting in no net force. But the pressure on the bullet to go forward and the gun to go backward is not balanced in that manner, because it is divided between the bullet and the gun. Hence there is a net force exerted on both the bullet and the gun. The force exerted on the bullet is necessarily equal to the force exerted on the gun. Momentum is conserved, so you can't push something forward without also pushing something backward. (This is not always obvious, because sometimes we are pushing on the Earth, which is so large that we do not see any resulting movement.)

Grain is a measure of weight, like gram or ounces. It can refer to the weight of powder, or the weight of a bullet.

A cool, dry place

Mean it fires a Lead, Round Nosed bullet

Ar 190-11

You can only shoot what is printed on the barrel. Mag and short mag are not the same.

NO

Quite a few. .410 shells were made in 2 inch, 2.5 and 3 inch version, paper, all metal and plastic shells. There are loaded with birdshot, buckshot, slugs, blanks and noise maker shells.

I had some 5.56 ammo made in Korea labeled as PMC. It was very inconsistent velocity-wise.

Most gun shops, sporting goods stores. Ask for 8mm Mauser- that is the common name, even if it really is 7.9

It is the same cartridge

EPR bullets are used by the Air Force and other military branches. They are not available commercially. One would have to buy some other kind of ammunition

Panic buying by a few million people

NO

The supply is improving, and you may find it at local gun shops or sporting goods departments. Some is available from on-line sellers. There has been a major shortage of .22LR for the past year.

The Ruger Web site says the Mini-14 Ranch Rifle and the Mini-14 Tactical Rifle, can be used with either the .223 or 5.56mm round:

Mini-14 Target Rifles ONLY accept .223 Rem. ammunition. 5.56 NATO cannot be used in this model. Probably due to tighter chambering dimensions for accuracy.

It can fire .22 Long Rifle, .22 Long or .22 Short. It CANNOT fire .22 magnum.
