The brass case is rimless and bottlenecked, Berdan or Boxer primed. Many commercial bullet types are to be found, and the original military bullet was a cylindro-conoidal flat-tipped jacketed type. The current military standard is a jacketed round-nose bullet of 6.02 g weight. This is a shortened version of the 7.63 mm Mauser cartridge developed by Georg Luger for the original 1900 Luger pistol. For many years it was the standard pistol cartridge of Brazil , Finland , Latvia , Portugal, Switzerland and other
countries. Although not currently used by any army, it can still be found in use with some police and security forces. Applications include parabellum (Luger) pistols of 7.65 mm calibre; some Beretta, Ruger,SIG, Walther and Bernardelli pistols.
