DOCUMENTATION
PU1 PU2 PU3
These pictures shows the three cartridge shells, designated PU1, PU2, and PU3. Shells with straight
rims, shells without rims, and centerfire pins contribute to every specimen. Also, it is evident from this
that not every bullet is created equal due to differences in color, such as the dark and non-dark paint
colors of PU1, PU2, and PU3. And the engravings on 45 Auto and AP are the same, as you can see in
these three images. The 45 Auto name came about as a result of SAAMI rejecting it under the 45
Automatic Colt Pistol trademark. John Moses Browning created a rimless, straight-walled handgun
cartridge in 1904 specifically for the Colt semi-automatic pistol prototype. This is in addition to the 45
Auto. Armor-piercing ammunition, or AP ammunition, is a class of projectile intended to pierce armor,
especially body armor, vehicle armor, and naval armor. Also clear here is a lot number or code linked
to the inconsistent production batch. And lastly, the center-fire microscope and the interior of the shell
containing the priming are visible.
