The first commercial staplers were made of stainless steel with titanium staples loaded into reloadable staple cartridges. Modern surgical staplers are either disposable and made of plastic, or reusable and made of stainless steel. Both types are generally loaded using disposable cartridges. The staple line may be straight, curved or circular.
The AR70/90 is manufactured according to 1980s standards, i.e. with limited use of polymer plastic parts and using stainless steel whenever possible (a Beretta staple). It weighs approximately 4 kg (8.82 lb) in standard configuration.
Targets for large-bore use are 9.5 to 13 mm (3 ⁄ 8 to 1 ⁄ 2 in) thick hardened steel; small bore targets are 5 to 6 mm (3 ⁄ 16 to 1 ⁄ 4 in) steel, and airgun targets are 3 mm (1 ⁄ 8 in) steel, although some aluminum targets are produced. Ranges are measured in meters only.
Stainless steel, also known as inox, corrosion-resistant steel (CRES), and rustless steel, is an iron-based alloy containing a minimum level of chromium that is resistant to rusting and corrosion. Stainless steel's resistance to corrosion results from the 10.5%, or more, chromium content which forms a passive film that can protect the material ...
