Ammunition

Plus one in the chamber means that in addition to however many cartridges are in the magazine, there is one more loaded in the gun.

.223 Remington ammo can be safely cycled through a 5.56x45 chamber - 5.56x45 ammo should not be cycled through a .223 Remington chamber. Both types may be cycled through a .223 Wylde chamber, but .223 Wylde may only be cycled through a .223 Wylde chamber.

I do see the cost of amunition going up. The liberal goal is to tax it extinct.

Yes it does. The M&P is a fine weapon.

Yes.

You're talking about a firearm that is at least 50 and possibly 100 years old, so before you even think about shooting it, have it checked over by a competent gunsmith. Then ask him about the ammunition.

No. They're not even remotely close to being the same.

The two bullets are the same caliber but that is where the similarity ends. The M-16 bullet is about 3 times the length of a 22LR, completely different in shape, about 4 times the weight, etc. Also the cartridge used in the M-16 has more than 10 times the powder than a 22LR, giving much higher muzzle velocity.

It was offered in more than one caliber.

22 Long Rifle

Yes, will work fine!

Referring to groove impressions left on the bullet as it travels through the barrel (known as "striations")? Absolutely, just like any other projectile.

Yes.

A rimfire CARTRIDGE uses a dab of wet priming compound that is placed in the cartridge case, and the case is spun at high speed to force the material out into the folded rim. The priming material, usually based on lead azide, is an extremely sensitive explosive, and cannot be safely shaped or handled except when wet. After the material dries, the case is loaded with powder and a bullet. When the cartridge is fired, the folded rim is pinched by the firing pin, causing the primer material to explode, igniting the powder. There is no safe way to effectively renew a rimfire primer.

Any .308 Winchester ammunition.

A bullet recovery box is a heavily reinforced box which is designed to deflect and collect bullets fired into it. They are often used when testing bullets or by crime labs checking ballistics.

32 acp.

yes, and not easily reloadable.

Not without some adapter device.

The M249 is typically fed from a belt... 100 round "nutsacks" and 200 round plastic drums are often used. It can also be magazine fed from STANAG 4179 magazines (the type used in the M16 and several other rifles). Those can be whatever capacity they're manufactured for, but 30 rounds is typical.

Primer.

The MP5 submachine gun typically uses the 9x19mm Parabellum cartridge. This caliber is known for its reliability and effectiveness in close-quarters combat. The MP5 is designed to accommodate various types of 9mm ammunition, including full metal jacket (FMJ) and hollow point rounds.

7.62x63 (.30-06) with M2 ball and 7.62x51 Special Ball were both used by the USMC in Vietnam.

Although both can, explosive material represents a projection hazard by producing shrapnel on impact with a hard object. So, if launching explosive material, be careful. wouldn't want shrapnel to cut into your body!

Depends on the loading used for the cartridge. These are pretty fast, ranging from about 3500 fps to 4200 fps. Lighter bullets can be driven to higher speeds.

.38 spl will shoot without problems from an 1892 Winchester that is chambered for .357 The .38 spl develops less pressure than the .357, and it the same diameter of bullet and casing

You may have a problem however with the .38 spl cartridges feeding properly from the magazine into the chamber. That is because the .38 specials are shorter than the .357 cartridges that the rifle was designed for.
