    According to Newtonian mechanics, if the gun and shooter are at rest initially, the force on the bullet will be equal to that on the gun-shooter. This is due to Newton's third law of motion (For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction). Consider a system where the gun and shooter have a combined mass m g and the bullet has a mass m b.

    Another difference between the C-9 and C-9 Comp. is the barrel length. Its 4 in (102 mm) barrel is 1 ⁄ 2 in (12.7 mm) longer than its sister weapon's providing for better accuracy and balance. The compensator and extra bulk also increase the weight.

    The 9×19mm Parabellum (also known as 9mm Luger, 9mm NATO or simply 9mm) is a rimless, centerfire, tapered firearms cartridge. Originally designed by Austrian firearm designer Georg Luger in 1901, [ 6 ] it is widely considered the most popular handgun and submachine gun cartridge due to its low cost, adequate stopping power and extensive ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caliber

    While modern firearms are generally referred to by the name of the cartridge the gun is chambered for, they are still categorized together based on bore diameter. [citation needed] For example, a firearm might be described as a "30 caliber rifle", which could accommodate any of a wide range of cartridges using a roughly 0.30 inches (7.6 mm) projectile; or as a "22 rimfire", referring to any ...

    As the ratio is expressed in units of length, relatively high O ratio is a good predictor of suitability for relatively long barreled guns. O ratio is also used to predict barrel life in cartridges of the same caliber, but not of different calibres, since the ratio is an extensive quantity that does not correlate to temperature or pressure (e.g ...

    The Smith & Wesson SD pistols are available in 9×19mm Parabellum and .40 S&W calibers in either a standard capacity version (16+1-round for 9mm, 14+1-round for .40) or in a restricted capacity version (10+1-rounds for both calibers). [7]

    The use of this ammunition also depends on the 9mm P.A. gun's barrel which can be of three kinds depending on the country's own gun legislation that can be more or less restrictive. Fully obstructed barrel are called "top firing" (or "top venting") for they have a long hole on the barrel's top while the muzzle is closed.
