The .60 cartridge [15.2 x 114mm T17] was designed for use with the experimental .60-caliber T17 Machine Gun, a reverse-engineered version of the German MG151 cannon chambered for an experimental .60 anti-tank rifle round. The project was abandoned after the war. The .60 cartridge case was the basis for the 20mm Vulcan [20x102mm] autocannon shell.
The EXACTO program completed another round of live-fire tests in February 2015. In the tests, an experienced shooter used the guided rounds to track and hit a moving target several times. Video showed the bullets maneuvering in-flight to achieve hits. Additionally, an inexperienced shooter used the system and was still able to hit the moving ...
The needle-activated centerfire breech-loading gun would become a major feature of firearms thereafter. [34] Pauly made an improved version, protected by a patent, on 29 September 1812. [31] Probably no invention connected with firearms has wrought such changes in the principle of gun construction as those effected by the "expansive cartridge ...
This is a table of selected pistol/submachine gun and rifle/machine gun cartridges by common name. Data values are the highest found for the cartridge, and might not occur in the same load (e.g. the highest muzzle energy might not be in the same load as the highest muzzle velocity, since the bullet weights can differ between loads).
The .60 was originally intended to be an anti-tank rifle cartridge capable of penetrating 1.25 inches (32 mm) of armor at 500 yards (460 m), a step up from the 0.9 inches (23 mm) at 200 yards (180 m) of the 0.50 Browning. By the time it was ready for service, tanks invariably had much more armor than the 0.60 was designed to penetrate, and it ...
The 60mm HVMS autocannon was designed as an infantry support gun mounted on light armored vehicles.. The project commenced in 1977, originally as a joint development between IMI Systems of Israel and OTO Melara of Italy, whereby IMI Systems were expected to develop the gun and ammunition, and OTO Melara the autoloader and a lightweight two-man turret which could be mounted on a variety of ...
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it is recommended that women over 200 pounds and men over 260 pounds get shots administered using a 1.5-inch needle, while the needle ...
A needlegun, also known as a needler, flechette gun or fletcher, is a firearm that fires small, sometimes fin-stabilized, metal darts or flechettes. Theoretically, the advantages of a needlegun over conventional projectile firearms are in its compact size, high rate of fire, and extreme muzzle velocity. The needle presents less frontal area ...
