	Rifle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A rifle is a firearm that uses a spiral groove cut into the barrel to spin a projectile (usually a bullet), thus improving accuracy and range of the projectile.
		Originally, rifles were sharpshooter weapons, whilst the regular infantry made use of the greater firepower of massed muskets, which fired round balls of calibers up to 0.75 inch (19 mm).
		Until the early 20th century rifles tended to be very long—a Martini-Henry of 1890 was almost six feet (1.8 m) in length, with a fixed bayonet—and the demand for more compact weapons for cavalrymen led to the carbine, or shortened rifle.

		The Metford rifling is as follows :diameter of bore,.303 in.; depth of rifling, 004 in.; width of lands, 023 in.; twist of rifling, one turn in io in.
		Gas-operated rifles, like the Hotchkiss and Colt machine guns, have fixed barrels and are worked by a portion of the powder-gases which is allowed to escape from the barrel through a small hole near the muzzle, thence entering a cylinder and working a piston in connection with the breech mechanism.
		Rifles of 12-bore gauge, firing a spherical ball, were subsequently made, with broad and shallow grooves making one turn in 10 ft. The bullet, of the same diameter as the bore, was loaded with a thin patch that took the grooving.

	.22 Long Rifle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The.22 Long Rifle rimfire cartridge is a long established variety of ammunition, and in terms of units sold is still by far the most common in the world today.
		The.22 Long Rifle and its derivative cartridges use a heeled bullet, which means that the bullet is the same diameter of the case, and has a narrower "heel" portion that fits in the case.
		Lead tends to oxidise if stored over long periods of time and as a result of this, the bullet's diameter increases to a level that might both prevent the insertion of the cartridge in the chamber and might cause the pressure in the barrel to rise to a dangerously high level.

		(A magazine may be used as long as long as the reloading of the cartridge into the breech is by manually pulling back and replacing the bolt) The barrel must have a minimum length of 457 mm, measured from the face of the bolt to the muzzle.
		The Air Rifle competition is shot at 10m from the standing unsupported position and consists of 60 shots in 1 hr 45 mins for men, possible score - 600, and 40 shots in 1 hr 15 min for women, possible score - 400.
		Firstly, the modern match air rifle will put all of the pellets fired from it through the same hole at 10m and secondly, most of the top shooters in the world manage to shoot the possible score or very near to it, regularly.

		The (muzzle-loaded) rifle was originally a sharp-shooter's weapon used for targets of opportunity and sniper fire.
		The modern sniper rifle is generally capable of accuracy greater than one minute of angle.
		The longest ranges possible with rifled weapons are reached with artillery pieces, a typical 155 mm NATO howitzer being capable of hitting an area at a distance of up to 30 kilometers, depending on the ammunition.

	Long-Range Rifle-Fire (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		In speaking of the target practice of the army and of match-shooting generally, the dis-tance between 700 and 1,000 yards are usually called "long," just as those under 300 yards are called "short"; 400, 500, and 600 being middle, or intermediate.
		But, whereas an average Baker rifle could make it very dangerous for a "head and shoulders" 250 yards off, the smooth-bore musket was so erratic that it was of little use trying to hit a single man at distances over a hundred yards.
		To give our infantry a rifle which, as regards hitting power, is as superior to the English "Martini-Henry" and to the Russian "Berdan" as those rifles are to the Snider seems to be a point worth securing in a match which, sooner or later, is pretty certain to be played.

		The weapon was fed by a 5-shot magazine, used a system of long recoil operation proven in the earlier CAWS shotgun prototypes and employed a rotary locking bolt head with multiple locking lugs to seal the breech during firing.
