Aguila Ammunition is a Mexican manufacturer of firearms cartridges, under Industrias Tecnos of Cuernavaca. Industrias Tecnos was established in 1961, under the name Cartuchos Deportivos de México (It was changed to Tecnos in 1978), as a manufacturer of sporting and rimfire cartridges in collaboration with the American Remington Arms .
Using the same 40 gr (2.6 g) outside-lubricated bullet later adapted for the much more common .22 long rifle, [2] the extra long was loaded with 6 gr (389 mg) of black powder. [2] Originally, it slightly outperformed the .22 LR, but was "not noted for great accuracy", [2] while later smokeless loads achieved about the same muzzle velocity as ...
The .17 PMC/Aguila, also known as the .17 High Standard, is a rimfire cartridge formed by necking down the .22 Long Rifle casing to accept a .172" diameter bullet. This cartridge was developed in 2003 by firearms maker High Standard and ammunition maker Aguila and introduced in 2004.
It combined the case of the .22 long of 1871 with a 40-grain (2.6 g) bullet, giving it a longer overall length, a higher muzzle velocity and superior performance as a hunting and target round, rendering the .22 extra long cartridges obsolete. The .22 LR uses a heeled bullet, which means that the bullet is the same diameter as the case, and has ...
The .40 Super drives a 135 grain bullet to 1,800 feet per second while generating less chamber pressure than the 9x23mm Winchester. With a 200-grain bullet, the .40 Super delivers more foot-pounds of energy at 100 yards than the .45 ACP does at the muzzle. The original plan was to market the .40 Super as the .40 SIG, the big brother to the .357 ...
Like the MG 42, the MG 3 cyclic rates of fire can be altered by exchanging the standard weight (about 650 g (22.93 oz)) bolt used for the standard 1,100–1,300 rounds per minute rate of fire for an extra weight (about 900 g (31.75 oz)) bolt for a reduced 800–950 rounds per minute rate of fire.
Anschütz entered the target rifle market in the 1950s with the Model 54 action, releasing the SuperMatch by 1962. [2] The combination of heavy receiver, short lock time and an excellent trigger almost immediately eliminated the Winchester Model 52 (known as the "King of the .22s" for the first half of the 20th century) [3] from elite shooting and Olympic competition and positioned Anschütz ...
