Gun Descriptions

.380 Auto (9mm Browning Short)

About The .380 ACP Ammo is a rimless, straight walled cartridge designed for pistols introduced in the year of 1908. Ever since it was released into the market, it has been very popular in the self-defense department and has been widely used in numerous handguns. The .380 ACP Ammo is considered a misnomer since it doesn't strictly conform to cartridge naming conventions that are named against the bullet's diameter. Using the standard naming process, the .380 ACP Ammo should be named .355 ACP Ammo since it uses a cartridge .355 in diameter. The .380 ACP Ammo, because of its low blow-thrust, delivered a soft recoil to the shooter. The overall length of the .380 ACP Ammo is 25mm, while the bullet diameter measures 9mm. The 45-grain variant of the .380 ACP Ammo can travel at a velocity of 1,835 feet per second while creating an energy level of 337 ft.lbf.  Manufacturer John Browning designed the .380 ACP Ammo in 1908, and Colt's Manufacturing Company manufactured it in the same year.  Uses The .380 ACP Ammo has experienced a wide array of uses over the years. At least FIVE European nations picked it up as their standard pistol ammo before World War II. The .380 ACP Ammo is light and compact and delivers a short-ranged shot, creating less stopping power. The .380 ACP Ammo remains a popular cartridge for self-defense purposes. 

9x18mm Makarov

9mm Makarov Ammo About The .9mm Makarov Ammo is a submachine gun and soviet pistol cartridge. During the ending half of the 20th Century, it was used as the standard military pistol cartridge of the Soviet Union and Eastern Bloc. During the early Cold War, the 7.62x25mm Tokarev Ammo faced a few shortcomings, one of which was that the magazine would drop during operations, making it unfit to be used. The .9mm Makarov Ammo was designed in 1946 and was intended to be a somewhat powerful round with decent bolt thrust that could function properly in a simple or direct blowback handgun. The .9mm Makarov Ammo was based on the 9x18mm Ultra Ammo design. The .9mm Makarov Ammo uses a larger diameter cartridge than other standard 9mm bullets. The overall length of the .9mm Makarov Ammo is 25mm, and the bullet diameter measures 9.27mm. The heaviest variant of the .9mm Makarov Ammo is a 115-grain bullet load that can travel at a velocity of 1,014 feet per second while creating an energy level of 263 ft.lbf. Manufacturer The .9mm Makarov Ammo was designed in 1946 by B.V. Semin and was later manufactured in 1951 to overcome the 7.62x25mm Tokarev ammo's shortcomings. Uses The 7.62x25mm Tokarev Ammo has been mainly used as a standard pistol cartridge by the Soviet Union military, and it began its early operations at the starting of the Cold War.
