Detailed explanation-1: -Cartridge: A unit of ammunition, made up of a cartridge case, primer, powder, and bullet. Also called a “round", or “load”. Sometimes incorrectly called a “bullet”. Cartridge case: The container for all the other components that comprise a cartridge.
Detailed explanation-2: -Introduction. Different types of round, or cartridge, are fired from military weapons depending on the activity being conducted. A ‘live round’ is used when aiming at a target and a projectile, a bullet, from the round would hit the target. A live round would also be used in conflict or for self-defence.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cartridges (or rounds, as they are commonly called) are the completed package of primer, casing, gun powder and projectile. For a shotgun, this is referred to as the shell casing or just simply shells. Shotgun shells are put together differently than cartridges for other guns.
