Ammunition, Missiles and precision weapons

The semi-rimmed case is usually of brass, though steel and alloy have been tried in the past. Developed by Fabrique Nationale of Liege in association with John Browning, for the Browning Model 1906 pocket automatic pistol. Like many Browning designs it has a semi-rimmed case, allowing it to be used in small revolvers. The standard bullet is a metal jacketed, lead-cored pattern, round-nosed or ogival although lead bullets are sometimes seen, these being more suited to revolver use. As a combat round it is useless,

and as a personal defence cartridge it barely suffices; the 0.22 Long Rifle cartridge has more power. Automatic pistols in this calibre are, however, carried by senior officers and staff personnel in some armies, and it is used to some extent as a concealed or secondary 'backup' weapons by some police officers. Applications include all suitably chambered automatic pistols; also a limited number of European revolvers of pre-1939 vintage.
