Ammunition, Missiles and precision weapons

The case is semi-rimmed, that is, the extraction rim is slightly larger than the body of the case, sufficiently large to provide a positioning stop in the chamber but not large enough to interfere with feeding from a magazine. Cases of brass, steel and light alloy can be found, although brass is most common. As with any commercial cartridge with such a long history, innumerable different bullets have appeared but the general police/military standard is a round-nosed full metal jacket bullet, with lead core of

about 4.7 g. The 7.65 mm cartridge was developed in the late 1890s, by John Browning and Fabrique National Herstal, for use in the Browning 1900 automatic pistol, after which it became the most widely used pocket pistol cartridge in the world. It has been estimated that about 65 per cent of the automatic pistols made this century have been chambered for this round. In military service it has generally been confined to use in staff officers' and second-line troops' pistols, although during both World Wars the German and French armies issued them widely to combat troops in default of sufficient heavier calibres. Its greatest formal application has been as a police and security force weapon in Europe. Being semi-rimmed it has also been used in commercial revolvers. This cartridge will function in any automatic pistol marked '7.65 mm Auto', '0.32 Auto', '0.32 ACP', or ' 7.65 mm Browning ' and also in a number of cheap European revolvers of pre-1939 manufacture which are similarly marked. It is also used in the Czech ' Skorpion ' machine pistol for which an armour-piercing bullet is manufactured. Modern compact pistols in this calibre continue to be widely used by law enforcement and undercover personnel as secondary or 'backup' weapons.
