	Tubes and primers for ammunition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		If friction tubes are employed when cordite or other smokeless powder charges are used, the erosion of the vent is very rapid unless the escape of the gas is prevented; in this case T-headed tubes are used.
		The force of the explosion expands the tube against the walls of its chamber, while the internal structure of the tube renders it gas-tight, any escape of gas through the vent being thus prevented.
		For larger guns an electric primer is used, the internal construction and action of which are precisely similar to the wireless tube already described; the exterior is screwed for the case.

	Ammunition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ammunition is a generic military term meaning (the assembly of) a projectile and its propellant.
		Ammunition for infantry refers to the ammunition carried by a typical foot (infantry) soldier.
		Naval ammunition is therefore optimized for great velocity (to reach those great ranges, to hit aircraft flying at altitude and also with the benefit of reducing the lead that has to be applied to hit a distant moving target) and to disable said machines, rather than rending human flesh.

		Ammunition is the complete assemblage of the component parts, or ammunition details, which, together, make up a charge or round for any type of weapon.
		In semifixed ammunition, the primer and propelling charge are contained in one unit, while the projectile is separate.
		The firing of the separate primer used with bag guns can be relied on to set off the fl powder in the ignition pad, but may not be sufficiently potent to initiate combustion of the smokeless powder grains directly.

		Semi-fixed ammunition (rounds) appear in the traditional form of a projectile mated with a cartidge case containing powder.
		Separate loading ammunition is just that: the projectile is rammed home in the chamber, the powder charges are loaded (usually by hand), then the breech is closed and the primer is inserted into the primer holder on the back the breech.

		This class of ammunition is especially useful for the smaller calibres of guns, such as 3-pounder, 6-pounder and field guns, but Messrs Krupp also employ metallic cartridge cases for the largest type of gun, probably on account of the known difficulty of ensuring trustworthy obturation by any other means practicable with sliding wedge guns.

		A primer is a small, disposable copper or brass cup, 4 to 6mm in diameter (standard sizes are 0.175 inches and 0.210 inches for handgun and rifle cartrdiges).
		Lead free primers were originally less sensitive (and thus less reliable) and had a much greater moisture sensitivity and correspondingly shorter shelf life than normal noncorrosive primers.
		Since their introduction, lead free primers have improved to the point that they are nearly equal in performance to lead based primers, and will likely become the norm in the near future.
