The opposite of the blowback, the blow-forward method of operation involves a fixed breech/bolt assembly, with the barrel and chamber being the components that are operated by the force of the expanding gas. Though it produces less recoil than a traditional blowback system, it is unnecessarily complex and not as reliable, and therefore, did not catch on in the world of firearms.

Get the Blow-forward mug.Generally refers to a very commonplace handgun cartridge first developed for the 1911A1 Colt Autopistol, available in FMJ and JHP. A rather bulky round with a weight of roughly 11 grams, the .45 ACP is seen as the ultimate manstopper by American shooters. Though it is a sub-sonic round that uses relatively low-pressure charge, its sheer size can deliver enough energy to very literally stop a man in his tracks. On the flip side however, it does not have a substantial amount of piercing power. Other .45 cartridges include the .45 LC (for Colt Revolvers), .45 GAP (Glock Auto Pistol), and the .45-60 high-powered revolver load.

Get the .45 mug.A revolutionary weapon designed by Heckler & Koch in the 1980's for the West German military, the G11 is the most famous weapon to utilize caseless ammunition. Instead of the traditional method of placing gunpowder inside a brass casing, and then placing the bullet itself on top, H&K created a cartridge where the powder charge is simply formed into one solid block behind the bullet. The lack of a casing eliminates the extraction phase of operations, there by allowing the G11 to achieve rates of fire of 2000 rounds per minute on burst mode.
