A round of ammunition ready for use.
A tube of metal containing an explosive charge in order to propel a bullet.
ammunition consisting of a cylindrical casing containing an explosive charge and a bullet; fired from a rifle or handgun
A entire round of ammunition.
This contains the propellant charge; it will be in a brass case for QF ordnance or in a cloth or silk bag for BL ordnance. A QF cartridge may be 'fixed' or 'separate' according to whether the brass case is fixed to the projectile or loaded separately.
A round of ammunition which includes a case, primer, gun powder, and bullet. They can be centerfire or rimfire.
A single round of ammunition consisting of the case, primer and propellant with or without one or more projectiles. Also applies to a shotshell.
n. A charge for a firearm, or for blasting.
The complete package which makes up a single round of ammunition. It includes the case, primer, powder, and bullet.
a prepared package, cylindrical in shape, containing both the propelling charge and the projectile of the gun.
Any of a variety of metal containers holding the complete charge of explosive, including primer powder and bullet. Formerly cartridge described powder contained in paper which was inserted into the chamber by pouring the charge through the muzzle. As such it dated from the end of the 16th century. Though paper cartridges contained no ignition component, they provided faster loading and better protection from dampness. Current metallic cartridges fall into several categories depending on the shape of the base and the type of ignition device.
A complete unit of ammunition assembled. i.e. Case, propellant powder, primer and bullet. Usually applied only to rifle and handgun ammunition, but occasionally to shotgun shotshells.
A single unit of ammunition consisting of the case, primer, and propellant with one or more projectiles. Modern cartridges generally fall into one of three categories: centerfire with the primer seated in the center of the base, rimfire where the primer powder is sealed in the soft rim around the base, and shotshells that include shot or small pellets instead of a single bullet.
A complete, self-contained round of ammunition including a bullet, primer, and gunpowder held in place by a cartridge case.
The complete unit of ammunition, including the projectile, case, powder and primer.
A single, complete round of ammunition.
A complete unit of assembled ammunition: case, propellant powder, primer, and bullet. Commonly applied only to rifle and pistol ammunition, but technically correct for shotshells also.
A small-arms round ready for firing; its components are the cartridge case, primer, propellant, and bullet.
A cartridge or round packages the bullet, gunpowder and primer into a single metallic case precisely made to fit the firing chamber of a firearm. The primer is a small charge of impact-sensitive chemical that may be located at the center of the case head (centerfire ammunition) or at its rim (rimfire ammunition). Electrically-fired cartridges have also been made.
