I just stumbled onto a bunch of French cartridge and bullet prints for things like the 6mm Lee Navy, .577 Martini-Henry, 11mm Murata, 4.2 Line Berdan, and even rarer stuff like the 5mm Mondragon. Sometime soon I'll whip these up in CAD, and post them here.

Nolo84, how would you design a cartridge for use in an underwater rifle?

I am fond of supercavitating projectiles, such as these:

Formerly, underwater ammunition had to be essentially small gun-propelled harpoon darts, drag-stabilized and usually subsonic. These would have limited accuracy and be about as effective as a small crossbow bolt. The Russians pioneered supercavitation, special shaping which creates a barrier of air around the projectile when fired in water, meaning that not only is the trajectory the same in water as out of water, but the projectile can be much smaller, and spin-stabilized, as well as fired at high velocity. This essentially rectifies all the shortcomings of underwater ammunition, and allows you to use one gun underwater and overwater, with the same ammunition for both (though I imagine two types of ammunition would be carried, supercavitating and standard rifle ammo, as underwater fighting would be limited).

Does that answer your question?

Yes, that answers my question.

I was familiar with the 5.66x39mm MPS and similar cartridges used in APS, ASM-DT, and SPP-1. Never knew about supercavitating projectiles, you sure are knowledgeable in the field of cartridges and ballistics. Thanks for the information.
