"FIREARMS"
The caliber of a firearm is the diameter of the projectile is fired. This list sets out thegauges in most common handguns.
The stopping power through each munition is the ability of a bullet to shoot down the target of a shooting. Not to be confused with lethality. Because of the many factors involved in this, from the bullet impact to the bulk of white through his psychologicalreaction to being hurt, there is some controversy about the power of arrest.
As a rule, faster and bullet weight (energy) and larger caliber bullet or deformation(larger surface to transmit the impact energy, greater stopping power. The .45 ACP is considered capable of bringing down a gauge of shot any man, and the United States, after some controversy with the capacity of 9mm Luger, this has beenovertaken by thestronger .40 S & W, which is somewhere between the two mentioned above.
Drilling capacity also depends on the speed of the bullet and weight, but is better with fewer gauge, by focusing the energy to get through. For example, the 5.7x28mm (in itspiercing cartridge) is used in military ammunition assault or submachine guns, and is able to pierce a bulletproof vest level 3 due tothe very high rate muzzle exit (over 600 m / s) and pointed, like rifle bullets, which facilitates penetration. However, a .38, .45 .44car or a special (subsonic bullets less than 330 m / s) or a 357 or a 9 to supersonic(350-400 m / s) standard, could not pierce.
Throughout history these have been some of the firearms and calibers who has handled most popular man.
* Mauser rifle caliber 8 x57: the most traditional of military.
The 8 x 57 Mauser (also called "8 mm Mauser") is the reference size of the German Army. Their massive use during the two world wars helped him to become one of the most popular calibers in history.
* Caliber 7.62 x 33: a Spanish triumph in Argentina.
The 7.62 x 33 mm is one of the great unknown in the history of the ammunition. His time in Spain waspractically testimonial, but in Argentina, across the Atlantic, got be very popular.
* 9 mm Parabellum: The world's most popular.
The 9 mm Parabellum possibly be the most widespread and popular caliber in the world. Designed by Georg Luger over 100 years, the 9 mm is present in all segments linked to the world of weapons. Luger also designed the German gun of the same name (the one used byGerman officers in World War II).
* .600 Nitro Express: power on the African savannahs.
The caliber .600 Nitro Express is uniquely positioned with respect to the classic cartridges from rifles used for hunting dangerous species. With a century of history behind this powerful caliber has claimed the lives of many African lions, and incidentally it has attained the status of myth.
* .375 H& H Magnum: King of the Savannah.
The .375 H & H Magnum has become the reference gauge to hunt in the African savannas. Introduced by the London firm Holland & Holland in 1912, represents the minimum legally allowed to hunt dangerous species.
* .458 Win Mag: can bring down an elephant.
The caliber .458 Win Mag in a position of honor in the history of the hunting of large (Rinosand elephants). From birth to the mid-1950s, the American cartridge has emerged as one of the stars of the big game.
* 7.62 mm AK-47: the favorite of the rebels.
It was designed by Mikhail Kalashnikov Russian. The initials are AK-47 stands for "Avtomt Kalashnikov model 1947". It is an assault rifle caliber 7.62 mm x 39 mm, with a30 round magazine that is reloaded automatically, triggeredby the expulsion gas generated in each shot.
Types of Weapons
Machine Guns
Automatic weapons designed to fire large number of bullets consecutively in a short time. Heavy weapons and large volume are usually mounted on a frame or special support.
The American Hiram Maxim in 1883 designed a weapon capable of firing many bulletsautomatically and without recharging. Thus was born the first...
