Ammunition, toxic, non-explosive, without burster or expelling charge, non-fuzed


Ammunition, also known as ammo, is the material fired, scattered, dropped, or detonated from any weapon or weapon system. The term Ammunition includes both expendable weapons (e.g., bombs, missiles, grenades, land mines), and the parts of other weapons that create the effect on a target (e.g., bullets and warheads). The purpose of ammunition is to project a force against a selected target to have an effect (usually, but not always, lethal). An example of ammunition is the firearm cartridge, which includes all components required to deliver the weapon's effect in a single package. Until the 20th century, black powder was the most common propellant used, but it has now been replaced in nearly all cases by modern compounds. Ammunition comes in a wide range of sizes and types and is often designed to work only with specific weapon systems. Wikipedia
