And Another Cartridge Quiz!

I hope your "made-up example" doesn't get into the system as an authentic one. Unfortunately, cartridge collecting also has its share of fakers.

Ist on left is a 4.6x36 for a Heckler+Koch project. The spoon point got me thinking, and I remembered something from way back. So, w/ a bit of help from Wikipedia, I think that's it. Apparently it's actually a CETME designed round that H&K picked up. "Spoon" point for quicker destabilization upon impact.


I must say it's much harder to ID these w/o a "hands on" evaluation! "Educated" fingers?

2nd on left- I'll make a SWAG and say it's the current Chinese (5.8mm or some such) infantry round.

I'll have to give you a 1.5 on those answers, just a bit off on the CETME.
Here are the answers, from left:
4x27 CETME, a Spanish experimental
5.8x42 Chinese
8mm Ribeyrolle, a French assault rifle experimental
7.62x39
8x63 Swedish MG
8mm Murata
.345 Machine Rifle, a pre-WWII US experimental.
Thanks for playing!
