Info

Rimfire Ammunition whose priming mixture is contained in the rim cavity of the cartridge case. When the priming mixture detonates, it ignites the propellant which drives the bullet down the barrel. The location of the priming mixture is an inherent design limitation which contributes to the firearm being relatively lowpowered. Round A unit of ammunition comprising a cartridge case containing a priming mixture or charge, propellant mixture and the bullet or shot. Self-loading A weapon which, after firing a round, immediately ejects the empty cartridge case and automatically feeds a new round into the firing chamber ready for firing. A self-loading rifle can either be fully automatic or semi-automatic. Semiautomatic 4 The Gun Buy-Back Scheme A self-loading weapon which fires only one round each time the trigger is pulled. Shotgun A weapon designed to fire shot through an unrifled barrel.
