A guide to the recoil from the cartridge, and an indicator of bullet penetration potential. The .30-06 Springfield (at 2.064 lbf-s) is considered the upper limit for tolerable recoil for inexperienced rifle shooters.

The term caliber is used as a measure of length of artillery barrels from muzzle to breech, expressed as a multiple of the bore diameter. For example, a 4-inch gun of 50 calibers would have a barrel 4 in × 50 = 200 in long (written as 4" L/50 or 4"/50).

.950 JDJ cases are approximately 70 mm in length, and are based on a 20×102mm Vulcan case shortened and necked up to accept the .950 in (24.1 mm) bullet. Projectiles are custom-made and most commonly weigh 3,600 grains (230 g) which is 8.2 ounces or over half a pound.
The .22 long rifle, also known as the .22 LR or 5.7×15mmR, [4] [5] is a long-established variety of .22 caliber rimfire ammunition originating from the United States.It is used in a wide range of firearms including rifles, pistols, revolvers, and submachine guns.
Lugs indicates that the .50 calibre was the standard issue rifle, with a reduced diameter bullet to reduce the recoil and the risk of accidental magazine explosions. [15] Cartridge length was limited by the action size to about 1.75 in (44 mm).
It was designed for use in revolvers, but was soon chambered in rifles as well, in which it gained a reputation as a small game cartridge. [1] In 1887, the .22 long case was combined with the heavier 40 gr (2.6 g) bullet of the .22 extra long of 1880 to produce the .22 long rifle, giving a longer overall length and a higher muzzle energy.
