Category talk:Pistol and rifle cartridges

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm fixing the sort order for some that didn't have it specified and thus were listen under "."

[edit] Split?

I was thinking that this category should be split into Category:Pistol cartridges and Category:Rifle cartridges? Pistol cartridges are used in pistols, revolvers, submachine guns and some carbines while rifle cartridges are used in rifles, assault rifles and machine guns. A split would also reduce clutter. --Philip Laurence (talk) 23:07, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

.17-357 RG is a pistol and rifle cartridge. It is currently chambered in semi-auto and single shot pistols as well as coventional bolt action rifles. It was designed to be effective in relatively short barrel applications. As an example an 18" rifle barrel. As a general issue, there are so many cartridges that are common to both applications it is difficult to split them into a specific applications.--Joe4570 —Preceding comment was added at 16:18, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
