Not sure, but if you mean centerfire silencer, it is a silencer that works with a centerfire firearm. Centerfire ammo is any ammo that has a primer in the middle of the back of the casing, as opposed to rimfire ammo, where the firing pin hits the edge of the casing.
A centerfire cartridge has the primer in the middle on the bottom side of the shell, where as the rimfire is the whole bottom.
Centerfire ammunition has a round primer at the rear center. Looks like a circle. Rimfire ammo is made with priming material in the folded over rim of the cartridge. It will have a smooth base of the cartridge- may have letters stamped there, but no circle for the primer.
The standard 5.56 mm cartridge is centerfire. There IS an adaptor to permit the use of .22 LR rimfire ammo for training.
No. The cartridge is far too large to fit in the gun, and .38 Special is a centerfire, not a rimfire.
Firearms ammo is divided into rimfire, such as .22 Long Rifle ammo, and centerfire, which has a primer in the center of the rear of the cartridge- such as .38 Special, 9mm, .308 Winchester, etc. Soft nosed refers to the composition of the bullet. Rather than having a full jacket of copper/nickel gilding metal (military ammo has that) a soft nosed bullet has the soft lead core exposed at the tip. These are typically used for hunting or self defense.
In the US, military surplus 7.62x54R ammo (used in the M/N rifles) is about as cheap a centerfire cartridge a you will find. However, for a FIRST rifle, I would suggest a .22 LR for anyone.
i don't know all the states but Pennsylvania does has to be CENTERFIRE though 22 hornet is one caliber
I personally haven't had a problem shooting foreign manufactured ammunition although I have never fired Malaysian ammo. If you are purchasing it through a reputable source (Centerfire Systems or other large distributor) you are likely safe although there are no guarantees in life.
A metal cartridge case is formed into shape by machinery. In centerfire ammo, a primer is press fitted into the primer pocket. A measured charge of gunpowder is poured into the cartridge case, and a bullet pressed into the mouth of the cartridge case, which MAY be crimped to hold the bullet in place.
i have never heard of such a law i have purchased ammo at anytime atleast in the state of Michigan
