Ammunition

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......

Glock model

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Ammunition that uses a metal case.

other than brass

Price can range from 10 cents to 100 dollars.

any gun or sporting store

Federal Premium Ammunition a wholly owned division of Alliant Techsystems. Alliant Techsystems has the ticker symbol ATK. It's the same idea as Chevrolet being a division of General Motors.

No. The .38 S&W is a different cartridge from the .38 Special. Basically, the .38 S&W is shorter, fatter, and has less energy. It will not chamber in a gun meant for .38 Special.

Depends on caliber & velocity of the bullet.

7 in the magazine and 1 in the chamber Usually 1 in the chamber & 7 in the magazine. Total 8 There are exceptions depending on brand of .45 Auto pistol and type of magazine used.

No. The .22 is smaller in diameter than the .25 and would be too small for the chamber of a .25. Generally speaking, you should never try to fire any cartridge in any handgun other than what it is designed to fire. While it may be possible to get a cartridge to fire from a different gun, it may cause damage to the gun or the shooter. Additionally, I forgot to mention that the .22 is a rimfire cartridge and the .25 is a center fire, the the firing mechanism is slightly different in the two guns.

As few as 2 and upwards of 200

In general, no. The cartridges will have differing shapes and sizes, a a rim fire firing pin strikes the rear edge of the cartridge, where a center fire firing pin strikes the center of the rear of the cartridge.

HOWEVER, in past years a very few firearms have been made with a changable firing pin that could fire rimfire OR centerfire ammuntion of the same caliber.

Over penetrate what? It all depends on what you are shooting at. A 223 FMJ round will go through a person, drywall, car doors, even solid wood doors. If you can be more specific, I can help you out.

they use a 7mm mag. Actually the mini gun fires 7.62X51 NATO or .308 Winchester as they are basicly the same round, .308 being the civilian designation. The 7.62X51 became the replacement for the US caliber 30.06 after NATO was formed following WWII. The name mini gun comes from the fact that the "GAU2B" is a scaled down or mini version of the Vulcan 20MM gatlin cannon used on fighter aircraft at the time. Now made by Dillon Aero the old mini has been much improved but retains the same caliber ammo.
