Well, for one thing, the prices flip-flopped since I was a kid. We used to buy 22 shorts for half the price of 22 LR. Today only a couple of companies still load shorts and when you can find them they cost more than the long rifle. And the intermediate length, 22 long, has just disappeared.
What is the most accurate shotgun and ammo combination?
Each weapon will exhibit a preference for one or more loads. The only way to know is to shoot as many different types as you can.

The scratch marks left on the proyectile by the rifling lines of the inside of the bore (barrel).
How much bullets does a 22 riffle hold?
Depends on the rifle. Among my .22s, some hold ONE shot. Several hold 7 shots in a box magazine. Rifles fed from a tube magazine may hold 15 long rifle cartriges, or 26 Short cartridges. TheAmerican 180, a ,22 LR submachinegun, held 177 cartridges. No, not a typo- 177. .
Is there a difference between revolver ammo and automatic ammo?
yes................revolver ammo has a rim. Semi-auto cartridges do not.
A supersonic bullet is a bullet that is faster than the speed of sound.
What happens when an ammo clip is hit by bullet?
The term you are looking for is probably an ammunition magazine. If a loaded magazine struck by a bullet, it usually get bent, or has a hole knocked in it. If a bullet hits a loaded cartridge IN the magazine, it will usually dent the cartridge, or tear it open. ONLY if the bullet were to strike the primer directly would there be a BANG- and that would be the bullet popping out of it's cartridge case. However, the bullet would have little power, and only travel a few feet- it is not confined in a barrel. Not quite what they show in the movies- sorry,
Can you use a real 12 gauge shotgun shell in a 12 gauge flare launcher?
Only once.
Flare guns are not firearms. They are usually made from weak materials and have thin barrels specifically to prevent such use. They cannot withstand the pressure of a standard shotgun shell. The flare launcher will likely explode. Even if it does not, the recoil from a full power load in such a light launcher is likely to cause injury.
Either way, you would be risking serious bodily harm to try it. Depending on local laws, firing real ammunition from a flare gun may also be a crime.
What caliber of gun will use Ammunition with head stamp rg 50?
POSSIBLY- and this is a stab in the dark- 7.62 NATO- similar to the civilian .308 Winchester. RG is a headstamo used by the Radway Green ammunition plant in Britain. In 1950, the standard rifle used the 7.62 NATO cartridge. Again, just a guess.
How many bullets does a machine gun hold?
Belt Fed - Average is 250 rounds, although more can be linked together to form a longer belt.
Mag Fed - Average is 50 rounds (FNFAL LSW and BAR) not too many mag fed LSW's out there though.
The canvas belts in the maxim and vicars MG's held:
Vickers - 300 rnds
Maxim - 150 rnds (reduced to 100 in Russian service)
How far will a 30 caliber rifle bullet travel if shot at a 45 degree angle?
Depends on the case and the size of the powder charge.
There are many .30 caliber cartridges and the ranges will be different for each one.
Can a 380 fire a 32 caliber bullet?
The short answer is no. The longer answer is, it might be possible to get it to fire, but you should never use any ammunition in a gun other than what it was designed to use. It is possible to damage the gun or get hurt yourself.
Can a bullet wound be healed to where there is no trace of the bullet?
On the sight of the wound, there may be a scar...
Can you use gap ammo in place of acp ammo?
In a revolver, you could get away with it. In a semi, no way. I wouldn't do it.

How did women make ammunition for ww's?
They worked on lathes and other factory machines that the men would have used but were all off fighting for the war.
How many bullets can a machine gun shoot at a time?
In all fully automatic machine gun designs, only one bullet can come out of the barrel at at a time, but the gun will continue to fire bullets as long as the trigger is held and the weapon still has ammunition.
Rates of fire vary widely depending on the type of machine gun, with the slowest ones firing at about 200 rounds per minute, and the faster ones firing over 6,000 rounds per minute, at least as long as the supply of ammunition lasts. Note that the fastest conventional automatic weapons have multiple barrels and are the "Gatling gun" type of weapon. There are newer weapons around that have firing rates that dwarf those posted here, but they are not using standard cartridges as ammunition. These "metal storm" weapons stack bullets and charges (stacked rounds) in the back of a gun barrel, one on top of another. The rounds are fired electronically, and firing rates of hundreds of thousands of rounds per minute are easily achieved. A primary difference here is that each barrel in a multiple-barrel weapon of this type can send a round down range at the same time. All the rounds in multiple barrels can be fired in a mere fraction of a second, exhausting the ammunition supply. Anyone thinking about it would expect these guns to present a challenge when it comes to reloading them. Once all the rounds from a given setup were fired, more rounds have to be "stacked" in the back of the gun barrel(s). Though the military is looking into these weapons, the obvious limitation precludes broad deployment, at least in the immediate future.
Can 38 caliber bullets be used in a 357 magnum?
No.
<><><>
Above is correct- however, ,38 Special CARTRIDGES can be used in a .357 magnum revolver. The .38 Special is actually not .38 caliber, but .357 caliber. .38 caliber bullets, such as used in the .38 S&W catridge, cannot be used.
Yep. You will need one.
