It fired a .45 caliber pistol cartridge from an unrifled barrel. Due to this limitation, it was intended for short-range use (1–4 yards (1–4 m)) either as ...
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).
