The ammunition train was an element of armies in 19th and 20th century warfare. They were responsible for transporting the artillery and infantry ammunition of each division from the ammunition refilling point to the area of engagement. The train itself may have been a literal train , but in most cases was not, the Train military train being the military term . Depending on the era, its conveyance would be horse drawn wagon or motor vehicles, and it was assigned the necessary personnel and equipment to fulfill these roles. ref cite book last Farrow first Edward Samuel title A Dictionary of Military Terms publisher Thomas Y.

Ammunition boots , also known as Boots, General Service BGS , were the standard footwear for the British Army from the Victorian Era until the late 1950s. The term Ammunition boots comes from the boots unusual source they were procured by the Master Gunner and the Munitions Board at Royal Arsenal Woolwich the Regiment of Artillery s headquarters rather than Horse Guards building Horse Guards the headquarters of the British Imperial Army . Ammunition boots were unlined ankle boot s with leather laces, pebble grained dimpled leather uppers and sides, leather toe cap and heel cap, iron heel plate and toe plate, and an iron studded leather Sole foot sole . They were designed to be hard wearing and long lasting rather than comfortable. The studded soles made a loud crunching sound when the wearer was marching, earning them the nickname crunchies . During World War I , a pattern of ammunition boot with woven cotton laces and lacking the leather toe cap was created to save leather and increase production. During World War II , a similar pattern was used by the Royal Air Force , the Royal Marines , and the Canadian Army . Soldiers were issued two pairs, both made with a black finish. There was a brief period 1908 to 1914 where they were issued one pair finished in black for parade and drill and one pair finished in brown for fatigue duty and field service, but World War I wartime manufacture forced the reversion to black leather for Other Ranks.

refimprove date October 2010 Rotation of ammunition is a term used with reference to gun s. Projectile s intended for R.M.L. rifled muzzle loading gun rifled muzzle loading guns were at first fitted with a number of gunmetal gun metal studs arranged around them in a spiral manner corresponding to the twist of rifling . This was defective, as it allowed, as in the old smooth bore guns, the powder gas to escape by the clearance called windage between the projectile and the bore, with a consequent loss of efficiency it also quickly eroded the bore of the larger guns. Later the rotation was effected by a cupped copper disc called a gas check attached to the base end of the projectile. The powder gas pressure expanded the rim of the gas check into the rifling grooves and prevented the escape of gas it also firmly fixed the gas check to the projectile, thus causing it to rotate. A more regular and efficient action of the powder gas was thus ensured, with a corresponding greater range and an improvement in accuracy. With the earlier Armstrong R.B.L. or rifled breech loading guns rifled breech loading guns the projectiles were coated with lead the late Lord Armstrong s system , the lead being forced through the rifling grooves by the pressure of the exploded powder gas. The lead coating is, however, too soft with the higher velocities of modern B.L. guns. Vavasseur devised the plan of fitting by hydraulic pressure a copper driving band into a groove cut around the body of the projectile. This is now universal. It not only fulfills the purpose of rotating the projectile, but renders possible the use of large explosive charge charges of slow burning explosive . The copper band, on being forced through the gun, gives rise to considerable friction resistance , which allows the propelling charge to burn properly and thus to exert its enormous force on the projectile. The laws which ... knowledge. References 1911 Category Ammunition ... more details
