This is a historic (index) list of United States Army weapons and materiel, by their Standard Nomenclature List (SNL) group and individual designations — an alpha-numeric nomenclature system used in the United States Army Ordnance Corps Supply Catalogues used from about 1930 to about 1958.
List of Winchester Center Fire rifle cartridges.More commonly known as WCF, it is a family of cartridges designed by Winchester Repeating Arms Company. [1] There are many other Winchester cartridges that do not carry the WCF moniker, such as the .300 WSM. .270 Winchester, and .300 Winchester Magnum
Common rifle cartridges, from the largest .50 BMG to the smallest .22 Long Rifle with a $1 United States dollar bill in the background as a reference point. This is a table of selected pistol/submachine gun and rifle/machine gun cartridges by common name. Data values are the highest found for the cartridge, and might not occur in the same load ...
The .50-110 WCF. Introduced in 1899 for the Winchester Model 1886 repeater, [1] the .50-110 WCF was also available in single-shot weapons such as the Winchester 1885 Hi-Wall.

Wafer-level packaging (WLP) is a process in integrated circuit manufacturing where packaging components are attached to an integrated circuit (IC) before the wafer – on which the IC is fabricated – is diced. In WLP, the top and bottom layers of the packaging and the solder bumps are attached to the integrated circuits while they are still ...
This primer was created specifically to provide reliable ignition for compressed powder charges in large capacity cases. [52] All reloading manuals provide loading data using only this particular primer to develop reloading data for the .460 Weatherby Magnum. In a pinch the Winchester WLRM primer or primers with similar brisance may be substituted.
A physical difference between pistol and rifle primers is the thickness of the primer's case; since pistol cartridges usually operate at lower pressure levels than most rifles, their primer cups are thinner, softer, and easier to ignite, while rifle primers are thicker and stronger, requiring a harder impact from the firing pin.

With the advent of chemical primers, it was not long before several systems were invented with many different ways of combining bullet, powder, and primer into a single package which could be loaded quickly from the breech of the firearm. This greatly streamlined the reloading procedure and paved the way for semi- and fully automatic firearms.
