http://www.ammunitionpages.com/index.html Explains it quite well.
Ammunition in which the cartridge case is permanently attached to the projectile.
A cartridge is a complete round of ammunition. It consists of the cartridge case, which holds powder, primer and projectile (the bullet).
No, Centerfire ammunition is a cartridge-type ammunition, where muzzleloaders use separate bullet, powder, and priming charges.
Rimfire ammunition differs from centerfire ammunition in that the firing pin does not contact a primer placed in the center of the cartridge. A rimfire cartridge has a flat, closed back with no opening for a primer. With a rimfire cartridge the rim of the shell is hollow and filled with the primer material. When the hammer engages the back of the cartridge it impacts the the rim, crushes it and ignites the gunpowder inside. This action causes the expulsion of the projectile. Because of the nature of the hollow rim, this type of ammunition has typically very low pressure rounds, which result in lower velocity and penetration.
Depends on what ammunition it is chambered for.
Firearms, weapons, ammunition, cartridge.
