Not quite a question yet. If you are asking about the physics, when a rifle fires a bullet, the ACTION of the bullet being pushed out of the barrel is equaled by the REACTION- or recoil, of the rifle pushing to the rear.

What belt fed machine guns use 7.62x51 ammo?

  • M60 (United States)
  • FN MAG (Belgium - many variants made around the world, including the US M240B, the British L7A2)
  • MG3 (Germany - an updated version of the MG42, also manufactured under licence in Pakistan, Iran, Sudan, and other countries)
  • SS77 (South Africa - based on the PK machine gun)
  • HK21 (Germany - belt fed light machine gun, based on the G3 rifle)
  • UKM-2000 (Poland - based on the PK machine gun)
  • Mk. 48 Mod 0 (Belgium/United States - a variant of the M249 SAW, beefed up to fire the 7.62x51 NATO round)
  • Madsen-Saetter (Denmark - was available in many different calibres, as well)
  • AAT Mod. F1 (France - an updated version of the AAT-52, which fired the 7.5x54 French round)
  • Type 62 (Japan - based on the FN MAG design)

How much ammo can the m1 garand hold?

The standard production M1 Garand uses an 8 round en bloc clip.

Some variations were made which fed from detachable box magazines, but they never went into large scale production. One model used a 20 round BAR magazine, one model used a magazine which was compatible with the BAR, but could not use a BAR magazine, and several variants used proprietary magazines.

Argentine Garands were converted to 7.62x51, and were refitted to use a Beretta BM-59 magazine. Brazilian Garands were converted to 7.62x51, and were refitted to use a FN-FAL (metric) magazine.

There's a couple different 6.5 cartridges.

. .264 Warrior magmun:( is also also known in Europe as 6.5x40mm )This is

generally seen in the AR-15/16 pattern rifles. With a simple change to the

barrel and any 5.56/.223 rifle could tentatively be chambered for this cartridge

and it is the best in world for AR-15 pattern rifles in performance, balance and

accuracy it is also more modern and compact cartridge for AR-15/M16

  • 6.5x55: This was a military cartridge originally used by Sweden and Norway. It has since been phased out of service in both militaries. Norwegian Krag-Jorgenson rifle, Swedish Mauser rifles, the Lljungman AG-42 rifle, and Swedish variants of the M1918 BAR/FN BAR Type D and MAG 58 machine gun were chambered for it.
  • 6.5x68: This was a commercial hunting catridge developed in the 1930s, and used often by Austrian and German hunters. Today, it is extremely rare, and most often hand loaded by those who use it.
  • 6.5 Grendel: Also known as 6.5 Sporter, 6.5 PPCX, 6.5 BPC, 6.5 CSS and .264 LBC-AR. This is generally seen in AR pattern rifles. With a simple change to the barrel, bolt face, and magazine follower, any 5.56/.223 rifle could tentatively be chambered for this cartridge.
  • 6.5x50SR: This was a semi-rimmed military catridge used by Japan from 1897. It was used in the Arisaka Type 35 and Type 38 rifles, Type 13 Mauser rifles, Type 1 rifles manufactured for Italy, and a number of Dutch M1895 Mannlicher rifles were converted, as well. The Soviet Federov Avtomat rifle was also chambered for this cartridge.
  • 6.5x54 Mannlicher-Schönauer: Produced in Netherlands for the rifle of the same name. Saw more success as a safari round than as a military one.
  • 6.5x52 Mannlicher-Carcano: Used by the Italian military in the various Carcano rifles (this is also what was used to assassinate John F. Kennedy, Jr.)
  • 6.5x47 Lapua: Designed specifically for benchrest shooting. One company has manufactured a variant of the US M40 sniper rifle in this cartridge, given the flatter trajectory and reduced recoil it has over the 7.62x51 NATO cartridge.
  • 6.5 Creedmor: Introduced in 2007, and the parent case is the .308 Winchester. Will likely be an alternative loading for rifles such as the AR-10.
  • 6.5-284: Wildcat cartridge using the .284 Winchester as the parent case. Not in regular production.
  • 6.5 Jonson: First cartridge in history to be designed by computer algorithm.
  • 6.5x25 CBJ: Swedish developed handgun cartridge, capable of being used in any rebarreled 9mm Parabellum firearm.

There are still a number of others, which tend to be a bit more "obscure".

Why did tubular magazines were replaced by fixed box magazines for bolt action rifles even though the military knows it holds more ammo?

There were several reasons. A box magazine MAY actually hold more ammunition. They are much faster to reload (using a stripper clip- insert the clip of cartridges into the weapon, press down on top of the cartridges, withdraw stripper, close bolt). If a tube type magazine was dented, it may be impossible to reload. Finally, while a tube magazine can work for a flat tipped bullet, such as the 170 grain bullet used in the 30-30 cartridge, they can be very dangerous to use with spitzer (pointed) bullets. As the 8mm Mauser, the .303 British, and the 30-06 began to shift to the spitzer bullet, the tubular magazine fell into disfavor. With a spitzer bullet, the center fire primer of each cartridge rests on the pointy tip of the bullet behind it.
