A cartridge conversion sleeve may include a short barrel of reduced bore diameter. Shotgun conversion sleeves may be called subgauge inserts , subgauge tubes , or gauge reducers . Sleeves intended for rifle or handgun cartridges may have rifled barrels.
The caliber conversion sleeves resemble fired cartridge cases in the rifle calibers for which they are made, but are made of steel instead of brass, and have an opening where the primer would normally sit into which the 32 ACP cartridge is inserted, prior to chambering the combined 32 ACP round and caliber conversion sleeve in the rifle.
This may be accomplished by replacing the (often plastic) barrel of the flare gun with a metal pipe strong enough to chamber a shotgun shell, or by inserting a smaller-bore barrel into the existing barrel (such as with a caliber conversion sleeve) to chamber a firearm cartridge, such as a .22 Long Rifle.

A sabot (UK: / s æ ˈ b oʊ, ˈ s æ b oʊ /, US: / ˈ s eɪ b oʊ /) is a supportive device used in firearm/artillery ammunitions to fit/patch around a projectile, such as a bullet/slug or a flechette-like projectile (such as a kinetic energy penetrator), and keep it aligned in the center of the barrel when fired.
Bullet's Brinell hardness number (BHN) x 9.80665 N/kgf×10 6 mm²/m² = [N/m²] = pressure in pascals Bullet's BHN x 1422 = pressure in pounds per square inch [3]. The conversion factor of 1422 is mathematically derived in order to convert the pressure in kgf/mm 2 (the units used to measure BHN) to lbf/in 2 (the units used to measure cartridge pressure).

P.O. Ackley was a notable gunsmith famous for developing wildcat cartridges from parent cartridges like the 30-06 Springfield. For many of the wildcats listed above, and several of standardized commercial chamberings based on the 30-06 cartridge, there are "Ackley Improved" versions with sharper shoulders increasing case capacity.
