32 IIRC

Ball, blank, tracer are a few.

CCI is the manufacturer.

Maybe.

You need to figure out which .38 your Colt is chambered in. .38 Short Colt and .38 Long Colt guns will not chamber a .38 Special. .38 Colt Special is the same as regular .38 Special.

If you cannot tell which caliber it is you need to take it to a gunsmith and have him tell you.

If you mean how many different caliber firearms exist, the answer is thousands. Some are considered obsolete, some are scarce, and some are brand new. A basic reference book, such as Cartridges of the World lists more than 1500 different cartridges.

sure do

in maritimes The Gun Dealer In NB. they have a web site and ship anywhere

I'd contact GAD Custom Cartridges & see if he could make some for you. He's very reasonable considering some of the other reloaders.

Both terms describe the diameter of the bullet in decimal parts of an inch. For example, a .357 bullet is 357 thousands of an inch in diameter and the .45 bullet is 45 hundredths of an inch in diameter. These labels of bullets are most common in the United States. Much of the world refers to bullet sizes in metric terms, i.e. 9mm means a bullet that is 9 millimeters in diameter.

Metal Storm

The average rifleman carried two hundred rounds in the American army. This was twenty-five eight round clips for his M1, in five bandoliers. If heavy action was expected he might carry extra, along with a couple of fragmentation grenades.

At night replenishment ammunition would be brought up to the line. Usually the ammo bearers brought a "unit of fire" which was an amount based on two hundred rounds per day, per man.

BARs fired the same rounds but they used a twenty round, detachable box magazine. Carrying ten of these plus a BAR, which weighed nearly twenty pounds, was a load and most BAR men were picked for their large size.

The M1 rifle and the BAR were the most common weapons in an infantry squad. The M1 carbine was also a .30 caliber weapon but fired a different, less powerful round than the .30-06 of the M1 rifle and the BAR. The carbine fired "thirty shorts" which also came in twenty or thirty round box magazines. Men in the lines did not favor the carbine because it lacked stopping power as compared to the M1, and also, because it marked them as potentially being an officer, and thus made them more of a target. The carbine had been intended to replace the officers sidearm. Most officers quickly got rid of it and got a rifle, and also quit wearing any insignia of rank. Saluting was heavily discouraged on the line. The officers did not want to stand out.

The Thompson submachine gun saw some use, but it was a complex weapon, difficult and expensive to manufacture, and hard to maintain in the field. The army developed the M2 "grease gun" which was a .45 caliber weapon like the Thompson and took the same twenty round box magazines. The M2 cost the army less than $15 each. Both these submachine guns fired the same rounds as the standard sidearm, the Model 1911A automatic pistol. Pistols were coveted more for the mental security they gave, and they were of little practical use.

Marlin makes one.

Marlin and Ruger make ones that do

metal

380 ACP or 9mm short or 9mm corto

lead, brass, priming compound, powder

Can't be answered without knowing all the printing on the box.

It stands for Gold Dot Hollow Point. It is Gold Dot ammunition made by Speer

In the usual sense of caliber, it means the diameter of the bullet. The smallest commercial caliber is the .17 rimfire, but there have been MUCH smaller caliber firearms, down to the 1-2 mm range. That is about .05 to .10 caliber.

hash marks or lines running parallel with the casing, caused by the inside of the barrel of the gun as the bullet travels out when fired

You will have to shoot as many different brands as you can afford to find out. All weapons exhibit a preference for one or more makers/loads.

The original Gatling gun was gravity fed from a hopper of loose cartridges, and held no specific number of rounds of ammunition. Later Gatlings used a stick type magazine, but capacity of those varied from 20 to 50 rounds. The M-134 minigun, a modern Gatling gun used on helicopters and gunships, has a 4000 round belt. There was no ONE gatling gun, and thus no ONE answer.

yes

Depends on which 9mm you are refering to

WCF stands for Winchester Center Fire

Nitroglycerin and a natural gas container (with the right ammo)

All weapons exhibit a preference for one or more maker/load. You will have to shoot as many as you can find to know.
