Ammunition is a military term for the projectile and propellant. The term is also used for explosives (cheap ammo). Cartridges are munitions, ie consisting of a casing containing propellant charge and detonating cap and a fitted projectile. Ammunition is used in weapons in size from guns with a caliber of 2 mm (called Hummingbird), machine guns, rifles and machine guns and up to 105 mm howitzer or recoilless gun.
With the First World War that the industrial production now become ammunition was more than tenfold in a few months, involving a large number of financial, industrial and mineral resources of belligerents. More than a billion shells and tens of billions of pistol bullets, rifles and machine guns, torpedoes and other grenades have been made in four years. At the end of war, a third of shells coming out of manufacturing lines were chemical munitions which a small part was used.
Ammunition design is determined by its purpose. Ammunition with bullets designed to fragment in tissue when it acting, has since 1905 been strictly forbidden to use against people acc. War on Land Regulations (popular name: the Geneva Convention). This type of projectiles is required for rifle hunting, where the goal is to kill an animal as quickly and efficiently as possible; the war would be rather to put the opponent's personnel out of game without killing.
At the momentum of ball thus in a sense corresponds to weapon it went off, the same quantity of motion in opposite direction. V1equals m1 m2 v2 where m1 and v1 are the mass and speed of ball, those m2 v2 of weapon. The latter, being much heavier than the ball acquires a much lower speed, but significant: it corresponds to decrease. For a given weapon, a heavier bullet will create more distance; ammunition equal to each other, a heavier weapon present a smaller decline.
The most important characteristic of a firearm ammunition for which it chambered. It determines the caliber of weapon. The weight of ball and the amount of powder determine the power of ammunition and the recoil of weapon. The following chapters explain why modern munitions tend to be a lighter and faster than the older munitions lower caliber.
The projectile itself may be hollow and filled with an explosive device equipped with a pyrotechnic firing (detonator react to impact or delayed), projecting shrapnel, bullets (round shot shrapnel shells) and more recently munitions. In case of chemical or biological weapons, the projectile could be filled with chemical agents or toxic pathogens, becoming toxic gases or contaminants in explosion on impact.
For reasons of safety and danger, military munitions are stored in places called ammunition depot. The first gun fired simple stones or iron shot recovered in forges (before it was banned). Spherical balls were quickly invented cast in lead and lead alloy of antimony and arsenic to harden. The powder was first charged separately by mouth of gun or gun or cannon.
This allows the speed of spindle arm which, for obvious safety reasons, inert was maintained before the shot by an internal mechanism. The recoil of a weapon is reverse to that of thrust ball, according to principle of action and reaction. It a function of momentum p developed by ball is: p equals mv.
