II. Common Ball Cartridge 11

(Fig. 29 and 30)

48 There are three types of ball ammunition:

-Common Rifle Cartridge 11, 7.5 mm caliber

-Armor Piercing Cartridge, 7.5 mm caliber

-Tracer Cartridge, 7.5 mm caliber

These are identifiable by the color of their respective bases.

All of these ball munitions can be fired from either the Short Rifle (musketoon), Long Rifle, the

Automatic Rifle, and the Machine Gun.

Exception: One part of the ball ammunition (red label) has been designated as blue label

ammunition for security reasons. These ‘blue’ munitions should not be fired by any weapon

except a Machine Gun (see section 56, Packaging)

1. Rifle Cartridge 11

(Common)

49 The bullet has a tapered form, pointed in front with a truncated cone at the rear. The middle of the

bullet is a cylinder that serves to guide the bullet on the inside of the barrel. The larger part of the

bullet is composed of lead, that gives it a relatively heavy weight. This leaden center is covered

with a steel jacket which makes the bullet more durable.

At 4000m the remaining bullet momentum is still sufficient to cause death.

Bullet Weight: 11.3 g

Powder Charge 3.2 g

Case Weight 12.3 g

Cartridge Weight 26.8 g
