Full metal jacket (ammunition)

A full metal jacket (FMJ) bullet is a small-arms projectile consisting of a soft core (often lead) encased in an outer shell ("jacket") of harder metal, such as gilding metal, cupronickel, or, less commonly, a steel alloy. ^[1]

Armour-piercing ammunition

Armour-piercing ammunition (AP) is a type of projectile designed to penetrate armour protection, most often including naval armour, body armour, and vehicle armour.

See Full metal jacket (ammunition) and Armour-piercing ammunition

Cupronickel

Cupronickel or copper–nickel (CuNi) is an alloy of copper with nickel, usually along with small quantities of other elements added for strength, such as iron and manganese.

Eduard Rubin

Eduard Alexander Rubin (17 July 1846 – 6 July 1920) was a Swiss mechanical engineer who is most notable for having invented the full metal jacket bullet in 1882.

See Full metal jacket (ammunition) and Eduard Rubin

Gilding metal

Gilding metal is a form of brass (an alloy of copper and zinc) with a much higher copper content than zinc content.

See Full metal jacket (ammunition) and Gilding metal

Gun barrel

A gun barrel is a crucial part of gun-type weapons such as small firearms, artillery pieces, and air guns.

Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907

The Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907 are a series of international treaties and declarations negotiated at two international peace conferences at The Hague in the Netherlands.

Hollow-point bullet

A hollow-point bullet is a type of expanding bullet which expands on impact with a soft target, transferring more or all of the projectile's energy into the target over a shorter distance. Full metal jacket (ammunition) and hollow-point bullet are bullets.

See Full metal jacket (ammunition) and Hollow-point bullet

Lead

Lead is a chemical element; it has symbol Pb (from Latin plumbum) and atomic number 82.

See Full metal jacket (ammunition) and Lead

Muzzle velocity

Muzzle velocity is the speed of a projectile (bullet, pellet, slug, ball/shots or shell) with respect to the muzzle at the moment it leaves the end of a gun's barrel (i.e. the muzzle).

See Full metal jacket (ammunition) and Muzzle velocity

Soft-point bullet

A soft-point bullet (SP), also known as a soft-nosed bullet, is a jacketed expanding bullet with a soft metal core enclosed by a stronger metal jacket left open at the forward tip. Full metal jacket (ammunition) and soft-point bullet are bullets.

See Full metal jacket (ammunition) and Soft-point bullet

Steel

Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon with improved strength and fracture resistance compared to other forms of iron.

See Full metal jacket (ammunition) and Steel

Total metal jacket

Total metal jacket (TMJ or full metal case) bullets are made by electroplating a thin jacket of ductile metal (usually copper) over a core of different metal requiring protection from abrasion or corrosion. Full metal jacket (ammunition) and Total metal jacket are bullets.
