This list compiles published miniature wargames categorized by their subject matter, genre, or time period covered in their rules.
The group also noted that 5.7×28mm firearms had existed for a longer period of time than 4.6×30mm firearms, and that the 5.7×28mm FN Five-seven pistol was already in production at that time, while the 4.6×30mm Heckler & Koch UCP pistol was a new concept.
The 28 mm wargame Bolt Action solves this problem by compressing the range of a rifle to just 24 inches; [10] likewise, a sub-machine gun's range is 12 inches and a pistol's range is 6 inches. [16] These ranges may not be realistic, but at least their proportions do make intuitive sense, giving an illusion of realism.
[citation needed] Some manufacturers measure figure height from the feet to the eyes rather than the top of the head; therefore, a figure that is 30mm to the top of its head could be considered to be a 28mm miniature. Figures of 15 mm, 20 mm, 25 mm, 28 mm, 30 mm, 32 mm, and 35 mm are the most common for role-playing and table-top games.
Infinity (also known as Infinity the Game) is a complex tabletop miniature wargame with 28mm scale metal miniatures that simulates combat and special operations in a Science fiction environment created by Gutier Lusquiños Rodríguez, Alberto Abal, Fernando Liste and Carlos Torres of Corvus Belli.
The cartridge is primarily used in Rock Island Armory M1911 pistols and the M22 TCM bolt-action rifle. Initially known as the .22 Micro-Mag, the .22 TCM is conceptually similar to other bottlenecked pistol cartridges, such as the 7.62×25mm Tokarev and the FN 5.7×28mm.
Bolt action is a type of manual firearm action that is operated by directly manipulating the turn-bolt via a bolt handle, most commonly placed on the right-hand side of the firearm (as most users are right-handed). The majority of bolt-action firearms are rifles, but there are also some variants of shotguns and handguns that are bolt-action.
