Ammunition

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.

No trouble at all.

No. Read the manual and it will state to only use ammunition marked on the gun. If you own a .380, you can only use .380. Successfully using anything else would more than likely damage or destroy your firearm, injure or kill you or others near by.

I believe that bolt action rifle has a 5 round magazine and a 10 round magazine............................

That'll dependent on manufacturer, your location, general availability, and demand. The .380 cartridges are in a bit of a shortage state in the US at the moment, and this has driven prices up. Generally, $25 - $35 for a box of 50 seems to be the norm, with specialty loads going higher.

If you have a bullet not assembled into a cartridge you can throw it by hand or use a slingshot.

A throwing sling is used to launch a projectile called a "sling bullet." They date back to before recorded history.

If you have a bullet in a cartridge, your best bet is to pull it out with pliers or a special bullet puller and use one of the methods above. Anything else is lkely to cause serious injury and should not be seriously considered.

.355 inches.

No! Both of those cartridges are ACP where it uses the mouth of the case to establish proper head spacing and to prevent the round from dropping too far in to the barrel. The cases are of different lengths. 9mm is 19mm (.754in) and the 380 is .680 in. The 380 will drop in to a 9mm barrel, but would be dangerous to shoot. The action of a 380 will not close on a 9mm.

With ammunition, the term GRAIN is a measure of weight- there are 7000 grains to a US pound. It does not refer to the number of individual flakes of powder (grains). Load data will vary depending on the weight of shot to be fired, and how hard you want that to shoot- and it also varies depending on which of several powders you use. For example, a 1 oz shot load might use from 20-25 grains of powder X, 22-27 grains of powder Y- and a 1 1/8th oz shot load might use 18-14 grains of X, etc.

a bullet or missile or grenade anything that a gun shoots

1. projectiles to be fired from a gun

2. any nuclear or chemical or biological material that can be used as a weapon of mass destruction

3. information that can be used to attack or defend a claim or argument or viewpoint

Familiarity information: AMMUNITION used as a noun is uncommon.

I am not sure. Why can you just use rocks or if it snows snowballs or hail?

Any Winchester 308 ammunition will work for you.

The .44 S&W Special is a cartridge currently loaded with smokeless powder, as opposed to earlier cartridges such as the .44 Colt or .44 Russian. Those cartridges, generally considered obsolete, were loaded with black powder. Smokeless powder should not be used in firearms built for black powder- the pressures are too high to do so safely. You may also find .44 caliber BULLETS (not cartridges) intended for use in a black powder revolver. These are typically made of a very soft type of lead, different from the harder lead alloys (lead-tin-antimony) used in modern firearms.

NO. Do not attempt this.

There are SEVERAL 9mm cartridges- the most common is probably the 9mm Parabellum (9mm Luger). A 9mm Parabellum BULLET (not cartridge) is typically slightly smaller than a .38 Special bullet- .356 instead of .357. The 9mm is frequently (not always) lighter- and shorter. Other 9mm cartridges (such as the 9mm Makarov) will have different bullets.

Yes.

"Smart Bullet" is the term for a THEORETICAL bullet that would be capable of pursuing a designated target, changing direction in flight, etc. While there have been patents applied for, and stories written about guns with "smart" bullets, they are not produced by anyone.

A bit over 2 miles, depending on the bullet used and the load. This is the maximum range, not the maximum ACCURATE range.

An mp5 holds 30 rounds in the magazine.

None... it is the same sized bullet (.308 diameter). You have to choose the selection of bullet when reloading 30-30 ammo for the type of bullet. A pointed bullet in a tubular magazine can present a problem when the rifle recoils. The ammo is not interchangable, you must shoot the ammo that the rifle was chambered for.

It is able to use all three
