Sporting ammunition describes rifle and handgun ammunition for hunting and target practice. Commercial hunting bullets, ranging in size from around 6 to 12mm, may differ from the conical shape of military bullets in that they 

Artillery ammunition for guns, howitzers, cannons, and mortars ranges upwards in calibre from the 20mm limit that generally divides it from small-arms ammunition. Artillery ammunition is divided into three types  

Large-calibre artillery ammunition permits a more complex payload including high explosives, bursters, shrapnel, bursting charges, fuzes, incendiaries, etc. 

In addition to catalysts, stabilizers, opacifiers (to reduce heat radiation ahead of the flame), flash depressants, plasticizers, and binders, the main fuel and oxidizers for rocket propellants include 

While the term missile can apply to any projectile ammunition, guided missiles describes those rockets whose course or trajectory is controlled electronically by computers and communications equipment.

Warheads contain the agent intended to inflict damage in any projectile ammunition, be it inert, explosive, nuclear, biological, or chemical, although the term is most often applied to self-propelled missiles, rockets, and torpedoes. Warheads include casings, destructive agents, and a power supply. They may be loaded into the ammunition just before use. With the addition of fuzes, safety, and arming mechanisms, warheads become armament systems.

Fuzes, a term often used synonymously with fuse, are devices which initiate high explosives (detonating fuze) or low explosives (igniting fuze) in projectile ammunition or pyrotechnics after launch, or which activate the main charge of a mine, bomb, or other nonprojectile ammunition. In addition to an explosive, fuzes incorporate some kind of mechanical or electronic initiation device ...

One of the major concerns for law-enforcement agencies in using less-lethal ammunition projectiles is the delicate balance between their effectiveness and their lethality. Impact biomechanics studies of a human body, including the use of less-lethal projectiles, are critically important when considering the protection of military personnel and civilians from accidental injury.

The U.S. Army Defense Ammunition Center and School is employing the use of intrinsically safe electrical circuits in equipment designed to demilitarize and renovate munitions - from small arms to large projectiles. This is accomplished by using pneumatics and hydraulics to provide the power, while using position switches and solenoid valves linked to programmable controllers to direct the total machine process.
