Volume 2 of the standard reference book on Austrian military small arms ammunition was published in September 2001. Together with Volume 1, published in 1996, it covers to the largest extent the full production range from the first metallic cartridge till today. Volume 2 focuses on the ammunition of the Austrian Army in the 2nd Republic (1955 until today). This specific part of the book is structured in accordance with different calibers. The interested reader will find all details on specific calibers. All previously or presently introduced ammunition for handguns, rifles, and machine-guns of the Austrian armed forces are presented in detail. The presentation of historic facts and technical data is reaching beyond Austria’s borders and military use. Domestic and foreign cartridges, tested and used in Austria, are pictured in more than 500 photos, about 100 in color and in most cases with their headstamps and described in detail. For the first time developments of caseless cartridges and sabotted flechette cartridges in Austria are discussed, a subject which had been accessible to experts in a rather limited manner in the past.
In the specific chapters and in a separate chapter respectively, attention is paid to Austrian export ammunition for the whole period since 1874. The historic accomplishments of the domestic ammunition industries are thus well presented. The chapter on exports deals with calibers nobody ever had associated with Austrian origin or producers.
The book also deals with ammunition produced abroad for Austrian military calibers, surprisingly the large number of foreign states and producers involved.
A separate chapter is dealing with military ammunition supplies in Austria since 1955. The Annex provides numerous tables with pertinent data. Special mention needs to be made about the more than comprehensive table showing the headstamp manufacturers´ signs for the whole period dealt with by the second volume.
This reference book is not only indispensable for forensic investigations or for the gun proof and military technology services, military instruction at all levels, ammunition industries, army museums, and collectors of cartridges, but also for everybody interested in arms and ammunition. The author offers new facts and data on the international world of arms and ammunition, going farther than the book’s title would suggest, most likely resulting in some revisions of technical/historical facts hitherto generally accepted by experts.
For the first time never before published graphic and written documents will be published in facsimile, among them historic blue-prints of DWM cartridges.
Due to necessary cost savings had the presentation of ammunition of the Austrian police, certain handgun export ammunition as well as foreign produced pistol and revolver ammunition of Austrian calibers be postponed. Because of the substantial research material compiled by Josef Moetz these aspects will be presented together with chapters on the Austrian ammunition industries in a third volume. The planned volume will present the latest developments in the sector, supplements to the first volumes, and a substantial register. In addition it will deal, as requested by readers, with rifle-grenades, illumination and signal flares and the rather exotic chapter of the military use of shotgun ammunition prior to 1919. Volume 3 is expected ready for publication in about two to three years.
