The term also includes ammunition for air rifles as mentioned elsewhere in the Code.
45
TECHNICAL DEFINITION OF AMMUNITION
Technically speaking, the term ammunition refers to a group of cartridges or to a single unit or single cartridge-meaning a completed unfired unit consisting of a bullet, cartridge case, gunpowder and primer. The term may also refer to a "single round".

53
The tubular metallic container for the gunpowder. Sometimes called "shell" or "casing". It can be either fired cartridge case or a live cartridge case. It is a metallic or non-metallic container in which the primer, gunpowder and bullet are placed together to form a single unit.
CARTRIDGE CASE
54
The projecting rims of rimmed and semi-rimmed cases serve the purpose of limiting the forward travel of cartridges into their chambers and thus also limit the clearance, if any, between the heads and the supporting.
RIM
55
(a) holding primers securely in central position; (b) providing a means to prevent the escape of gas to the rear of the cartridge; and © providing a solid support for primer anvils, without which the latter could not be fired.
PRIMER POCKET
56
Is the hole in the web or bottom of the primer pocket through which the primer “flash” provides ignition to the powder charge. It is the “opening” or “canal” that connects the priming mixture with the gunpowder.
FLASH HOLES OR VENTS
57
Constitute the “cork” that plugs the breech of the barrel against the escape of the gas.
THE HEAD AND BODY
58
Is applied to that part of the cartridge case that is occupied by the bullet. In cases of bottleneck, neck is apparent. But in the so called “straight” cases which involved only a slight taper, it is not.
NECK
59
Are the serrated grooves that are sometimes found rolled into the necks and bodies of the cases at the location of the bases of the bullet to prevent the bullet from being pushed back or loosened.
CANNELURES

GUNPOWDER
71
It is a substance or a mixture of substances which upon suitable ignition releases a large amount of chemical energy at a high and controllable rate, the energy liberation is to convert the propellant into a high temperature gas.
