IIa. The term "cartridge identification" can embrace a wide span of activities, ranging froin tie simple determination of a cartridge's designation in terms of its caliber and case length to 4 more complex anlalysis that Canl include its country of origin, functional typc. model or type 4

designation, and even lot niumnber. year, anid place of manufacture. This gu ide is gcnerdlly limitecd in

scope to cartridge designation and country and year of mianufacture (though some data are provided

onl tire identificacion of functional types and, for major producing countries. on the principal modcl

I ~or ty'pe designation) for cartridges. in calibi.rs of 15 mim anid below. This breakoiff ponin was selected

because cartridges in this caliber range arc predominantly of the sosail-arms type, having bullets of

relatilVyI, Simple conStruction With, typically, A bullet jackeCt and a core. Cartridges of 20 num anid

greater calibers, on thme other hand. generally have artillery-type projectile,., either fuzed explosive

types or solid mocnubloc projectiles with artillery-type rotaling baards. Thecre are at present no service types 4f military ammunnmition between 1 5 mmn arid 20 minl. I ~ b.
