    The caliber of ammunition used against personnel and lightly armored targets is the

    • 9mm cartridge

    • 7.62mm cartridge

    • 5.56mm cartridge

    • 12-gauge 00 buck shot

    Correct Answer
    A. 7.62mm cartridge
    Explanation
    The 7.62mm cartridge is the correct answer because it is commonly used for both personnel and lightly armored targets. This caliber provides a good balance between stopping power and recoil, making it effective in combat situations. The 9mm cartridge is typically used for handguns and may not have enough stopping power against lightly armored targets. The 5.56mm cartridge is commonly used in assault rifles, but it may not be as effective against lightly armored targets compared to the 7.62mm cartridge. The 12-gauge 00 buck shot is primarily used for shotguns and is more suitable for close-range engagements.

    What are the components of most small arms cartridges?

    • Case, bullet, primer, powder

    • Case, primer, projectile, bullet

    • Bullet, powder, primer, projectile

    • Jacket, core, point filler, base seal

    Correct Answer
    A. Case, bullet, primer, powder
    Explanation
    The components of most small arms cartridges are the case, bullet, primer, and powder. The case holds all the other components together and provides structure. The bullet is the projectile that is fired from the firearm. The primer is a small explosive charge that ignites the powder when struck by the firing pin, causing the powder to rapidly burn and create gas pressure. This pressure propels the bullet out of the barrel. Therefore, the correct answer is "Case, bullet, primer, powder."

    Correct Answer
    A. Wrench
    Explanation
    A wrench is a type of tool used to apply a turning force to a bolt head, nut, or capscrew. It typically has a handle and a jaw-like opening that fits over the fastener. By gripping the fastener and applying force to the handle, the wrench allows for tightening or loosening of the fastener.
