Gun Descriptions

About The .30 Luger Ammo, also known as the 7.65x21mm Parabellum Ammo, is a pistol cartridge that was designed and introduced to the markets in 1898 in the German Empire. The DWM manufacturers asked for a redesign of the 7.65x25mm Borchardt Ammo because the pistol that was used for chambering was found too heavy. This cartridge was redesigned, and the results were the creation of the .30 Luger Ammo. A narrower grip was created by shortening the parent casing, and the toggle action demanded a shorter stroke than the 7.65x25mm Borchardt Ammo. This cartridge has been exported to the UK, US, Brazil, Portugal, and other well-known countries because of its high demand back then. Before World War I, a separate load of the .30 Luger Ammo was designed to be used in carbines and was discontinued after the war. The .30 Luger Ammo has an overall length of 29.85mm, and the bullet diameter measures 7.85mm. The 6.03-grain variant travels at a velocity of 1,200 feet per second while creating an energy level of 304 ft.lbf.  Manufacturer Georg Luger and Hugo Borchardt designed the .30 Luger Ammo at the request of Deutsche Waffen und Munitionsfabriken who manufactured it in 1898.  Uses The .30 Luger Ammo has been mainly used in service for the military, and there haven't been many other usages of this cartridge. 

About The .9mm Steyr Ammo, also known as the 9x23mm Steyr Ammo, is a centerfire pistol bullet that was initially created for Steyr M1912 Pistol. The bullet was designed and developed in 1911 but was adopted in 1912 in service by the Austro-Hungarian Army. It was their most used cartridge in World War I. Austria, Romania, and Chile kept using the .9mm Steyr Ammo between the World Wars because of its consistent results and deliverance. The performance of the .9mm Steyr Ammo is quite similar to the .38 ACP Ammo in terms of accuracy, usage, and power, but the .9mm Steyr Ammo has headspaces on the mouth of the case, which creates a slight difference in the comparison. The 115-grain bullet variant of the .9mm Steyr Ammo can travel at a velocity of 1,230 feet per second while creating an energy level of 388 ft.lbf. Manufacturer The .9mm Steyr Ammo was designed and introduced in 1911 by Styer Arms for the Austria-Hungarian Army. Although, the cartridge was adopted into the service in 1912. Uses The .9mm Steyr Ammo proved to be a good choice for military purposes and has been widely used by many participants of the World Wars.
