Summary

With all these cartridge-based 10 minute talks, we decided it would be a good idea to talk about some of the more common and often forgotten like the remote you lost in your hand cartridges out there, most of those being NATO cartridges. So, the first in our “NATO Series” is the 9x19 – often just referred to as the 9mm. What is NATO, what’s the origin story of this cartridge, what makes the NATO version different from the regular 9mm ammo you get at the store (If at all?), and how has the 9mm evolved over time to become more effective in comparison to some of the larger calibers out there like .45 acp? You’ll find out right here! Stay tuned for more NATO cartridges in the coming weeks, too. We’re doing all four!

0:58.0	sudden ammunition stocks run low an unfortunate happen in stance with a bomber and a large vessel carrying
1:04.8	ammo we sink that now what now we've got two different rifles firing two different
1:08.9	cartridges we can end up in dire straits as allies.
1:12.9	NATO was formed for a number of different reasons.
1:15.3	Part of this is the standardization of calibers
1:18.0	and some other things so that if we as allies go fight
1:21.3	a war on foreign ground ground we have same ammo.
1:25.0	Exactly right. So one of those early ones was 9 by 19 and getting into what 9 by 19 means it's a 9 millimeter bullet so 9 millimeters in
1:36.2	diameter and the case is 19 millimeters long so measured from the head to the mouth
1:41.3	it's 19 millimeters, 9 by 19.
