Ammunition

Most any rifle employed in the Second World War by any warring faction would have been capable of killing multiple persons, provided they were lined up correctly. The standard German service rifle of the time period was the Mauser Karabiner 98, which fired a 7.92x57 cartridge, and could very easily go through multiple persons. Medium machine guns of the German military used the same cartridge, but these rounds were fired in rapid succession.

Anti-partisan forces, death squads, and the like typically preferred rapid firing submachineguns for this task, however, such as the MP 38/40, or the Finnish Suomi M1931.

I believe the standard was 40 rounds but usually ammunition was in short supply and a lower number of rounds were issued.

For the most part, the steel cased ammunition marketed by Wolf, Brown/Silver/Golden Bear, etc. Keep in mind that Wolf isn't actually the manufacturer, but rather, a marketing companies who obtains the ammo they sell from a number of sources, and not everything they market will be priced so low. Wolf Gold, for instance, is brass cased ammunition made by Prvi Partisan in Serbia, and is considerably more expensive than the steel cased Wolf ammo (such as the Military Classic), which is manufactured at the Tula Cartridge Works in Russia.

When gunpowder detonates, it creates a gaseous byproduct which expands very rapidly. The expansion of this gas is what propels the cartridge through the barrel.

That depends on the game laws where you live. In the US, each state has their own fish and game laws, and they vary from state to state. Check the game laws in your state.

Caliber refers to the diameter of the bullet the gun fires. The caliber of a 9mm is 9 millimeters. That is about .356 inches.

The term is cartridge- that is a cartridge case, powder, primer, and bullet (that's the part that comes out of the barrel) It is extremely dangerous to attempt to remove a live primer from a loaded cartridge. Once the primer has been fired, reloaders use a tool called a deprimer to push the old primer out from the inside- but pushing on a LIVE primer will almost certainly make it fire. Very unsafe, please do not fool with that.

Marlin has made dozens of different model .22 LR semi-auto rifles. The "lubricated" indicates an early rifle- that is now taken for granted. You best route will be to have an experienced gunsmith examine your rifle, or sit down with a copy of Gun Traders Guide or the Blue Book of Gun Values, and look through the Marlin rifles until you find yours.

The .40 is a larger diameter round. The projectile has a dimension of .4005, versus the 9mm Parabellum, which has a dimension of .356. Of the two, the .40 is the more powerful cartridge.

Single shot, bolt action, pump, semi-auto,

Anywhere from 400 to 1200 rounds per minute. Some Gatling guns can fire 6000 a minute, although they may not be considered TRUE machine guns.

That can't be answered without a specific purpose in mind. Generally speaking, brass cased rounds are more desirable than aluminum or steel cased rounds. For plain target ammo, personally, I used Winchester white box and CCI Blazer brass.

No. The AK47/AKM use the 7.62x39 M1943 cartridge. The ammo used by the AK74 is 5.45x39.5.

Depends on the .22 cartridge, what weight bullet, and what it is fired in. Some .22s travel slower than the speed of sound (about 1100 fps) some high velocity 22 LR cartridges fired from a rifle reach muzzle velocity of 1750 fps with a 30 grain bullet. The .22 Magnum may reach 2200 fps with the 30 grain bullet.

That depends on make and model. A typical "snub nosed" compact .357 Magnum revolver would hold five rounds, whereas a full sized revolver will usually hold six. The Desert Eagle .357 Magnum has a standard magazine capacity of nine rounds.

7.62x39mm

One cartridge is about 20 cents retail. When the military buys in huge quantities, it is less.

Yes, these models exist, mainly due to the fact that the Czech Republic joined NATO in 1999, they had to use the 9mm rounds because it was standard issue to pistols used by NATO members. There are other varieties for commercial use, for example, the pistols offered by CZ-USA.

If you have a projectile lodged in the barrel, the best advice would be to have a gunsmith do it. Disassemble your pistol, and take the barrel in by itself. Trying to do this yourself could result in damage to the barrel, and a need to buy a replacement barrel. It can be done, but if you're searching on this particular site for a "how to" (and understand that I'm not saying this to be condescending), it's something best left to a professional.

Yes

NEVER FIRE OR ATTEMPT TO FIRE AMMUNITION IN A WEAPON NOT DESIGNED FOR THAT AMMUNITION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Danger,danger, danger

IF properly stored (cool, dry) I am not sure that modern smokeless ammo HAS a shelf life. I am shooting 8mm Mauser from the 1950s, and .303 Enfield from the 60s now. I have a few thousand rounds of 7.62 Russian from the 70s, and it shoots fine. Moisture and extreme heat seem to be the enemy. Late 1800s ammo used mercuric primers, and those seem to die as mercury reacts with the brass casing, but later pimers do not seem to have the same problem.

A few feet. If not contained within a gun barrel, such as being tossed into a fire, the bullet will be pushed in one direction, and the cartridge case in another.

Yes- you use the ammunition that is marked on the firearm.
