Re: Does anyone have any cartridge \'war\' stories?
i would assume you specificly are asking as it relates to pistols.
If your asking about rifles, that would be a segment that would take up an entire paperback.
What I find MOST interesting was to see the 5.56 replace the 7.62 and exactly WHY it replaced it after the Korean War.
Another "rifle" cartridge to study was the time period where the 30/06, 308, and 303 were all considered and studied for long time use by the Army during WWI and WWII.
As for side arms, I know nothing of the cartridge progression during the 1800's into WWI and WWII and then the changes that took place much later between Nam (.38 and .45acp) to the 9mm of today.
