Ammunition

Wadcutter is a description of the type of bullet, similar to 'full metal jacket', 'hollow point'... Wadcutters are usually lead cast without a copper jacket, they have a completely flat top. More often you will find 'semi-wadcutters', they are angled then come to a flat point that is about half the total diameter.

44 special and 44 magnum only

Despite rumors- No. There is no reliable way to make ammunition that will stop working at a specific date.

Depends on the caliber.

Any firearm chambered for .223 or 5.56mm

Actually, the proper name is "cartridge." The term bullet is an extremly common but incorrect usage when referring to a cartridge. The term bullet only refers to the piece of lead that comes out of the barrel when the gun is fired. The bullet is one component of the cartridge.

The .38 Smith & Wesson cartridge was created in 1876. It is a shorter, fatter, less powerful cartridge than the .38 Smith & Wesson Special, created in 1899 (they cannot be interchanged). The .38 Special +P is a .38 Special cartridge that is loaded to 10% higher energy than a standard .38 Special. The .357 Magnum is a longer version of the .38 Special that is loaded to MUCH higher energy than a .38 Special +P.

"Less lethal" is a very subjective term, however, a hollow point bullet is generally considered to be more effective in regards to stopping an adversary than a round nosed bullet.

The barrel will be marked with the ammunition it uses.

A 500A is a 12 gauge and can use any factory made ammunition that's up to 3" long. That includes all 12ga birdshot shells either 2 3/4" or 3", all 12ga buckshot shells, and all 12ga slugs of the same lengths.

lead.

Only in firearms chambered for it. SIG comes to mind, but, there are others.

it is a 32 round a clip 9mm.

Basically, jacketed, semi-jacketed, lead, in the following types: round nose, wadcutter, semi-wadcutter, hollow point, flat base, boat tail.

as well as high velocity and soft points, as well as copper tipped HV rounds.

NEVER FIRE AMMUNITION IN A WEAPON NOT DESIGNED FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Strongly agree with above. In the case of 22 LR being fired from a .22 magnum- it is the wrong diameter. The brass case will split, blowing hot gasses where you do not want them, and accuracy from the undersized bullet will be very poor. .22 Magnum is fatter, longer, more powerful than 22 LR.

Adding MY two CENTS' worth: It is possibly unsafe. But I have tried it with a couple different guns, both handguns and rifles. Accuracy was poor and each cartridge had to be loaded into the chamber manually. I did not have any cases split, but they did bulge. The bullets did fly downrange and hit on or near the target, but group size was more than twice what .22 WMR (magnum) ammo would have done for me. BOTTOM LINE: In an emergency or survival situation, it is good to know about this. And don't assume that a .22LR in a .22 Mag firearm won't shoot. My experience says it will shoot and the bullet will come out with deadly velocity.

The 9mm came into popularity because of it's high capacity magazines which hold between 15-20 rounds where a .45 holds between 7-10. the .45 fires a 185-230 grain bullet, the 9mm about half that. The stopping power of the 9mm is minimal compared to the .45. The bullet diameters are .45 inch and .38 inch. The 9mm is less expensive to shoot and recoil is minimal which makes it a good choice for target shooting, the .45 is a little more costly to shoot and has a bit more recoil. It would also depend on what you want it for, to shoot target and such the 9mm will do it for you, for defence I would take the .45 over the 9mm alrhough the 9mm is a fair defence piece. they both have their points, Good luck choosing......

The US Battleship Iowa's 16" diameter barrel guns fired shells upwards of 2,700 pounds.

The WW2 German Schwerer Gustav railway cannon fired shells upwards of 15,000 pounds.

The Japanese battleship Yamamoto had 18 in guns and fired a 3300 lb shell.

yes

This is called the "muzzle" of the gun.

You will have to specify if it is for hunting, target shooting, self -defense

The primary material used in bulletproof vests is Kevlar in several layers. There are many types of bulletproof vests, many of which include special inserts. The actual construction of bulletproof vests and other bulletproof clothing (they make bulletproof suit coats even!) is not really different than making other clothing items, but they adhere to a higher level of quality during construction.

Glock model

No you cannot.
Size of bore is different, cartridge dimensions are different, all precluding a good chambering of the .223 round. Which then precludes a bolt spin and locking closure, which prevents the sear from releasing the hammer.

a basic google search will bring you hundres of hits.

No such thing. It's a marketing word and tactic. Ammunition is made to a set of specifications for a specific task or tasks.

Each weapon will exhibit a preference for a certain maker/load combination. The only way to know is to shoot as many different loads as you can find.
