The Savage Model 24 was actually introduced by Stevens Arms as the Model 22-410 in 1938. [notes 1] During World War II the United States Army Air Corps purchased some 15,000 Model 22-410s for use as survival guns. [1] In 1950, Stevens stopped making the 22-410, and Savage introduced the same gun as the Model 24.
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 (e.g. the highest muzzle energy might not be in the same load as the highest muzzle velocity, since the bullet weights can differ between loads).
This is an extensive list of small arms—including pistols, revolvers, submachine guns, shotguns, battle rifles, assault rifles, sniper rifles, machine guns, personal defense weapons, carbines, designated marksman rifles, multiple-barrel firearms, grenade launchers, underwater firearms, anti-tank rifles, anti-materiel rifles and any other variants.
Although not originally designed for handguns, several rifle and shotgun cartridges have also been chambered in a number of large handguns, primarily in revolvers like the Phelps Heritage revolver, Century Arms revolver, Thompson/Centre Contender break-open pistol, Magnum Research BFR, and the Pfeifer Zeliska revolvers.
The S1200 is the first semi-automatic shotgun sold under the Stevens brand. The S1200 uses an inertia-driven action that uses the recoil force of the gun to cycle shells. The S1200 weighs 6.8 pounds. Options for 26-inch and 28-inch barrels are available. [21] As of 2018, Savage sold the 212 (12 gauge) and 220 (20 gauge) model shotguns.
The Stevens Model 520 was a pump-action shotgun developed by John Browning and originally manufactured by the J Stevens Arms & Tool Company between 1909 and 1916. [1] Stevens was sold to New England Westinghouse on 28 May 1915 and production of civilian firearms was greatly reduced. [1]
