Have you ever been curious about which cartridges the U.S. Army has issued to its troops over the past century? If so, then this is the guidebook for you, covering semi-automatic pistols, revolvers, carbines, rifles, shotguns, and machineguns. Each one of the more than 100 identification sheets illustrates a particular cartridge and provides specifications and performance data for it. From .22-caliber through 30mm, including shotshells, this book covers all military cartridges used in recent history, not just current ammunition.

Coverage includes:

• 14.5mm
• 20 mm
• 25mm
• 30mm
• .32 ACP
• .38 Special
• 9mm NATO

Besides shining a spotlight on the details of individual rounds the ammunition data sheets also detail the weapon system for which each particular caliber cartridge is intended. eg

The 5.56 mm cartridge is used in the M16 Rifle, M4 Carbine, and M249 Squad Automatic Weapon

The 7.26 mm cartridge is used in the M240 Machine Gun, M24 Sniper Weapon System, M110 Semi-automatic Sniper System, and the M14 Rifle.
