[edit] Ballistics Info needed

Some Balistics info would certainly be useful, especially WW2 data vs modern loads.

Yes, an info box should be made into the 7.92 Kurz-cartridge article. 91.155.108.82 02:01, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of Firearms in 7.92 x 33 mm kurz?

Which weapons were made in this fairly unique caliber? This is what I know:

Mkb 42
MP43/MP44/StG 44
Volksgewehr/StG 45
FAL prototypes
DDR-rechambered Kar98s

I encountered a fellow who had a single-shot handgun, one of those Thompson Center Contenders or bolt-action pistols, in 7.92 kurz (he said it was an excellent caliber for that purpose), but I have no idea whether it was a production model or not. Twalls 18:46, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Also, there is the new-production BD44, a semi-auto-only replica of the StG44 made by Sport-Systeme Dittrich of Germany in 7.92x33 mm. According to the information I have, this rifle is not available in the United States (due to being turned down by the BATFE). Twalls 05:27, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nomenclature

I know that the conclusion on the Firearms Project discussion page was that there is no possible conclusion when it comes to cartridge nomenclature, but Cartridges of the World always lists metric calibers without embedded spaces in their names and I am most used to seeing names like that in other places as well. Perhaps this page should be renamed "7.92x33mm"? (with appropriate forwarders in place as well.) Tad Marko (talk) 05:20, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 7mm Category?

Shouldn't the "See Also" for this page include a link to 8mm rather than 7mm cartridges? The 7mm page says that "[t]his article lists firearm cartridges which have a bullet in the 7 mm (.284 in) to 8 mm (.320 in) caliber range." Since this cartridge has a .323" bullet, I think that it should link to the 8mm page. Tad Marko (talk) 05:25, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
