AMMUNITION EXPENDITURE CERTIFICATES.-Consolidated Chemical Warfare Service ammunition certificates will be submitted semiannually as of June 30th and December 31st, on forms furnished by Headquarters Sixth Corps Area. These certificates will be prepared as per instructions contained in paragraph 2b, AR 35 620 will show the expenditures made by each component of the Army of the United States, and will be mailed to arrive at this headquarters on or before the 15th of the month following the date of the certificate. 

It was the single largest ammunition contract in the history of federal law enforcement, worth a maximum of 54 million. Winchester Ammunition will produce. 40 S W service ammunition, training ammunition, reduced-lead training ammunition and frangible ammunition for the FBI for one base year, with four, one-year renewal options. 

Winchester s enhanced. 40 S W service ammunition is a 180-grain bonded jacketed hollow point round and was selected over all other rounds that were tested. The FBI tests [see Chapter 8 Non-Toxic - What s Available and What s Coming] the terminal ballistics of each round by shooting a specific test protocol through various barriers such as heavy cloth, wallboard, plywood, steel and auto glass into ballistic gelatin. 

As such they deal with terrorist-planted explosive devices. Ammunition technicians also liaise with, and train, the civilian emergency services as well as dealing with land service ammunition (including that of the Army Air Corps).

Military munitions. Military munitions are all ammunition products and components produced for or used by the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) or U.S. Armed Services for national defense and security. Unused or defective munitions are solid wastes when abandoned (i.e., disposed of, burned, incinerated) or treated prior to disposal rendered nonrecyclable or nonuseable through deterioration or declared a waste by an authorized military official. Used (i.e., fired or detonated) munitions may also be solid wastes if collected for storage, recycling, treatment, or disposal.

In all the colonies, as in England, the militia system was based on the principle of the assize of arms. This implied the general obligation of all adult male inhabitants to possess arms, and, with certain exceptions, to cooperate in the work of defence. The possession of arms also implied the possession of ammunition, and the authorities paid quite as much attention to the latter as to the former. A year later [1632] it was ordered that any single man who had not furnished himself with arms might be put out to service, and this became a permanent part of the legislation of the colony [Massachusetts]. ... 

Hj) Height of Burst (Sonic) Test. The purpose of this test is to det the height of burst of a fuze using sonic techniques. This technique requires the measurement of the time of arrival of sound at directional microphones precisely placed in a plane. A brief description of this test is given on p IIIB-20 Ref 39 Addnl info can be obtd from "Instrumentation Section, Technical Services Laboratory, Ammunition Development Division, Ammunition Engineering Directorate, Picatinny Arsenal, Dover, NJ 07801 H2) Hydraulic Ram and Vibrator Test. This test could be used to simulate impact shock on bombs or rockets assembled with fuzes that are launched from aircraft. It also could check the transportability of fuzes that experience this environment. This test is listed, but not described in Ref 39, p IIB-37...

The US Army did not adopt a standardized color code for artillery projectiles until the turn of the 20th century. At this time, there was one color code system for mobile army ammunition, one for seacoast ammunition and one for navy ammunition. Each color code was distinctively different, because there was no attempt to standardize identification among the then three services...

A formal international requirement for insensitivity was raised as far back as 1984 by NATO s Conference of National Armament Directors (CNAD) AC/310 Partnership Group on Safety and Suitability for Service Munitions and Explosives . As a result, a pilot NATO Insensitive Munitions Information Center (NIMIC) was set-up in the USA in 1988. Subsequently, after a couple of years when technologies for production of most ammunition of insensitive types were available and implementation and fielding was more important, the name NIMIC was changed to NATO s Munitions Safety Information Analysis Center (MSIAC) in December 2004. The advantages derived as a result of implementation of IM Policy are briefly described in Chapter 6 (Section 6.8). 

Military explosives may be transported by road or by rail, however, rail transport is normally preferred as road transport has serious limitations. Sometimes use of duly approved freight containers for transport of explosives and ammunition both by rail and road is resorted to. Under special circumstances, explosives and ammunition are also transported by air in Service aircraft...

It was introduced in 1944 as the "Service proplnt for all ammunition in order id minimize the differences in ballistics previously obtd when propints of the same formulations were manufd at different plants. The incorporation of K nitrate and of hydro cellulose was claimed to give much more uniform interplant ballistics of Einheitspulver... 

Ammunition Inspection consists of tests to determine the current degree of serviceability or deterioration of ammunition as affected by the various conditions of manufacture, storage, handling, maintenance and renovation.
