<p>Admin: </p> <hr /> <div>[[File:Companhia-Brasileira-de-Cartuchos-CBC-Industries-Logo-firearm-wiki.png|450px|thumb|right|Logo of Companhia Brasileira de Cartchuos (CBC), a major firearm and cartridge manufacturer founded in Brazil in 1926.]]<br /> <br /> '''Companhia Brasileira de Cartuchos (CBC)''' is a Brazilian ammunition manufacturer recognized as one of the largest producers of small‑caliber cartridges in the world. The company supplies the civilian market, law‑enforcement agencies, and military forces, and operates as the core of a multinational ammunition group with facilities in Brazil, Europe, and the United States.<br /> <br /> Founded in 1926, CBC has grown from a small domestic shotshell producer into a global industrial conglomerate with a portfolio that includes ammunition, components, primers, and select sporting firearms. <br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> <br /> === Founding and Early Development ===<br /> <br /> CBC traces its origins to 1926, when a group of Italian‑Brazilian industrialists established a cartridge factory in São Paulo to reduce Brazil’s dependence on imported ammunition. The company initially focused on shotgun shells and basic sporting calibers, serving hunters and competitive shooters during a period when domestic ammunition production was limited.<br /> <br /> === Mid‑Century Expansion ===<br /> <br /> By the mid‑20th century, CBC had expanded into metallic‑cartridge production and began supplying the Brazilian Armed Forces. Investments in machinery, chemical processing, and metallurgy allowed the company to scale production of rimfire and centerfire ammunition. During this period, CBC also acquired land in Ribeirão Pires, which later became its primary industrial complex.<br /> <br /> === Technological Modernization ===<br /> <br /> From the 1960s onward, CBC adopted non‑corrosive primer technology, modernized its propellant formulations, and expanded into export markets. The company began producing a wider range of handgun and rifle calibers, eventually becoming a major supplier to police forces in Latin America and beyond.<br /> <br /> === Globalization and Acquisitions ===<br /> <br /> In the 2000s and 2010s, CBC transitioned from a national manufacturer to the center of an international ammunition group. It acquired:<br /> <br /> * Magtech Ammunition (USA)<br /> <br /> * Sellier &amp; Bellot (Czech Republic)<br /> <br /> * MEN – Metallwerk Elisenhütte Nassau (Germany)<br /> <br /> These acquisitions positioned CBC as one of the few ammunition groups with vertically integrated production across multiple continents.<br /> <br /> CBC also became the majority shareholder of [[Taurus Armas]], Brazil’s largest firearms manufacturer, strengthening its role in the defense sector.<br /> <br /> === Recent Developments ===<br /> <br /> CBC has continued expanding its industrial footprint, including new production lines for military calibers and increased export capacity. In the 2020s, the company announced additional investments in North America to support growing demand for handgun and rifle ammunition.<br /> <br /> == Products and Capabilities ==<br /> <br /> CBC manufactures a broad range of ammunition and components, including:<br /> <br /> * Sporting firearms and airguns under select product lines<br /> <br /> * Handgun cartridges (9mm, .380 ACP, .40 S&amp;W, .45 ACP, etc.)<br /> <br /> * Rifle ammunition (5.56×45mm, 7.62×51mm, .308 Win, .30‑06, etc.)<br /> <br /> * Rimfire cartridges (.22 LR and variants)<br /> <br /> * Shotgun shells (various gauges and load types)<br /> <br /> * Military calibers up to 12.7×99mm (.50 BMG)<br /> <br /> * Primers, cases, and reloading components<br /> <br /> CBC is particularly known abroad for their large‑scale brass production, supplying cases to both civilian reloaders and other ammunition manufacturers.<br /> <br /> == Industrial Footprint ==<br /> <br /> CBC operates multiple facilities in Brazil, including:<br /> <br /> * Ribeirão Pires (São Paulo) – main industrial complex<br /> <br /> * Montenegro (Rio Grande do Sul) – additional production capacity<br /> <br /> * Through its international subsidiaries, CBC maintains manufacturing operations in:<br /> <br /> * Germany (MEN)<br /> <br /> * Czech Republic (Sellier &amp; Bellot)<br /> <br /> * United States (Magtech and new expansion sites)<br /> <br /> Combined, the group produces billions of cartridges annually and employs several thousand workers worldwide.<br /> <br /> === Role in Defense and Law Enforcement ===<br /> <br /> CBC is designated as a Strategic Defense Company by the Brazilian government, reflecting its importance to national security. It supplies ammunition to:<br /> <br /> * Brazilian Army, Navy, and Air Force<br /> <br /> * Federal and state police agencies<br /> <br /> * International military and police clients<br /> <br /> * The company also participates in research and development programs related to small‑caliber ammunition, propellants, and ballistic performance.<br /> <br /> == Sport Shooting and Civilian Market ==<br /> <br /> CBC is a major supplier to civilian shooters in Brazil and abroad. It produces ammunition for:<br /> <br /> * IPSC and IDPA competition<br /> <br /> * Hunting<br /> <br /> * Recreational shooting<br /> <br /> * Training and law‑enforcement qualification<br /> <br /> CBC and Taurus jointly sponsor shooting events and maintain a network of certified armorers and service centers.<br /> <br /> == See Also ==<br /> <br /> * Magtech Ammunition<br /> <br /> * Sellier &amp; Bellot<br /> <br /> * MEN (Metallwerk Elisenhütte Nassau)<br /> <br /> * Taurus Armas</div>

The company supplies the civilian market, law‑enforcement agencies, and military forces, and operates as the core of a multinational ammunition group with facilities in Brazil, Europe, and the United States.<br /> <br /> Founded in 1926, CBC has grown from a small domestic shotshell producer into a global industrial conglomerate with a portfolio that includes ammunition, components, primers, and select sporting firearms. <br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> <br /> === Founding and Early Development ===<br /> <br /> CBC traces its origins to 1926, when a group of Italian‑Brazilian industrialists established a cartridge factory in São Paulo to reduce Brazil’s dependence on imported ammunition. The company initially focused on shotgun shells and basic sporting calibers, serving hunters and competitive shooters during a period when domestic ammunition production was limited.<br /> <br /> === Mid‑Century Expansion ===<br /> <br /> By the mid‑20th century, CBC had expanded into metallic‑cartridge production and began supplying the Brazilian Armed Forces. Investments in machinery, chemical processing, and metallurgy allowed the company to scale production of rimfire and centerfire ammunition. During this period, CBC also acquired land in Ribeirão Pires, which later became its primary industrial complex.<br /> <br /> === Technological Modernization ===<br /> <br /> From the 1960s onward, CBC adopted non‑corrosive primer technology, modernized its propellant formulations, and expanded into export markets. The company began producing a wider range of handgun and rifle calibers, eventually becoming a major supplier to police forces in Latin America and beyond.<br /> <br /> === Globalization and Acquisitions ===<br /> <br /> In the 2000s and 2010s, CBC transitioned from a national manufacturer to the center of an international ammunition group.

The company initially focused on shotgun shells and basic sporting calibers, serving hunters and competitive shooters during a period when domestic ammunition production was limited.<br /> <br /> === Mid‑Century Expansion ===<br /> <br /> By the mid‑20th century, CBC had expanded into metallic‑cartridge production and began supplying the Brazilian Armed Forces. Investments in machinery, chemical processing, and metallurgy allowed the company to scale production of rimfire and centerfire ammunition. During this period, CBC also acquired land in Ribeirão Pires, which later became its primary industrial complex.<br /> <br /> === Technological Modernization ===<br /> <br /> From the 1960s onward, CBC adopted non‑corrosive primer technology, modernized its propellant formulations, and expanded into export markets. The company began producing a wider range of handgun and rifle calibers, eventually becoming a major supplier to police forces in Latin America and beyond.<br /> <br /> === Globalization and Acquisitions ===<br /> <br /> In the 2000s and 2010s, CBC transitioned from a national manufacturer to the center of an international ammunition group. It acquired:<br /> <br /> * Magtech Ammunition (USA)<br /> <br /> * Sellier &amp; Bellot (Czech Republic)<br /> <br /> * MEN – Metallwerk Elisenhütte Nassau (Germany)<br /> <br /> These acquisitions positioned CBC as one of the few ammunition groups with vertically integrated production across multiple continents.<br /> <br /> CBC also became the majority shareholder of [Taurus Armas], Brazil’s largest firearms manufacturer, strengthening its role in the defense sector.<br /> <br /> === Recent Developments ===<br /> <br /> CBC has continued expanding its industrial footprint, including new production lines for military calibers and increased export capacity. In the 2020s, the company announced additional investments in North America to support growing demand for handgun and rifle ammunition.<br /> <br /> == Products and Capabilities ==<br /> <br /> CBC manufactures a broad range of ammunition and components, including:<br /> <br /> * Sporting firearms and airguns under select product lines<br /> <br /> * Handgun cartridges (9mm, .380 ACP, .40 S&amp;W, .45 ACP, etc.)<br /> <br /> * Rifle ammunition (5.56×45mm, 7.62×51mm, .308 Win, .30‑06, etc.)<br /> <br /> * Rimfire cartridges (.22 LR and variants)<br /> <br /> * Shotgun shells (various gauges and load types)<br /> <br /> * Military calibers up to 12.7×99mm (.50 BMG)<br /> <br /> * Primers, cases, and reloading components<br /> <br /> CBC is particularly known abroad for their large‑scale brass production, supplying cases to both civilian reloaders and other ammunition manufacturers.<br /> <br /> == Industrial Footprint ==<br /> <br /> CBC operates multiple facilities in Brazil, including:<br /> <br /> * Ribeirão Pires (São Paulo) – main industrial complex<br /> <br /> * Montenegro (Rio Grande do Sul) – additional production capacity<br /> <br /> * Through its international subsidiaries, CBC maintains manufacturing operations in:<br /> <br /> * Germany (MEN)<br /> <br /> * Czech Republic (Sellier &amp; Bellot)<br /> <br /> * United States (Magtech and new expansion sites)<br /> <br /> Combined, the group produces billions of cartridges annually and employs several thousand workers worldwide.<br /> <br /> === Role in Defense and Law Enforcement ===<br /> <br /> CBC is designated as a Strategic Defense Company by the Brazilian government, reflecting its importance to national security. It supplies ammunition to:<br /> <br /> * Brazilian Army, Navy, and Air Force<br /> <br /> * Federal and state police agencies<br /> <br /> * International military and police clients<br /> <br /> * The company also participates in research and development programs related to small‑caliber ammunition, propellants, and ballistic performance.<br /> <br /> == Sport Shooting and Civilian Market ==<br /> <br /> CBC is a major supplier to civilian shooters in Brazil and abroad.

It was based on the [[.275 H&amp;H Magnum]], necked down to .250 caliber. Photo from from [[Elmer Keith]]'s article &quot;The .250 O'Neil Magnum&quot; in April 1937 issue of &quot;[[The American Rifleman]]&quot;.]]<br /> <br /> The '''.250 O'Neil Magnum''' was a wildcat cartridge created around 1936 by [[Con Schmitt]] and [[Charles M. O'Neil]], the latter being the cartridge's namesake. It was intended to compete with a notoriously accurate German cartridge, the [[.244 Halger]]. <br /> <br /> It was also meant to match the .244 Halger's high muzzle velocity. The concept went through many iterations with various cartridges being necked down, shoulder angles changed, and so on. This ''final'' cartridge was created by necking down the [[.275 H&amp;H Magnum]] to .25 caliber.</div>

Alternatively, the user can easily load a round in this way by accident. This is not really an issue in firearms with a tube magazine because the rims have no way of grabbing each other and locking up.<br /> <br /> == Preventing Rim Lock == <br /> <br /> In most firearms, rim lock is relatively easy to avoid. By taking care to make sure that each round's rim is sitting in front of the previous one, this should eliminate most if not all possibility of rim lock. However, it may be the case that some magazines are not designed to properly allow for this but give just enough room for cartridges to lock together and still cause issues. Overall, paying attention during loading will resolve almost all issues of rim lock.</div>

<p>Admin: </p> <hr /> <div>The '''Iver Johnson TP22''' and '''Iver Johnson TP25''' <br /> <br /> The Iver Johnson TP25 is a small, compact semi-automatic pistol chambered in .25 ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol), designed primarily for personal defense and concealed carry. Produced by Iver Johnson Arms, a renowned American firearms manufacturer, the TP25 is part of the company's lineup of pocket-sized pistols. The TP25 and the [[TP22]], its .22 Long Rifle counterpart, are clones of the Walther TP/H-Series of handguns. The firearm was introduced in the 1980s and became popular for its ease of concealment, lightweight design, and affordability. <br /> <br /> Overview<br /> The Iver Johnson TP25 is a semi-automatic, blowback-operated pistol that was marketed as a budget-friendly option for self-defense. It was designed to be a compact and easy-to-carry weapon, fitting comfortably in a pocket or purse. The pistol is notable for its small frame and simple construction, making it a popular choice for individuals seeking a discreet backup firearm.<br /> <br /> Some of the key specifications of the TP25 include:<br /> <br /> Caliber: .25 ACP<br /> Capacity: 6-round magazine (in some models, may vary)<br /> Action: Semi-automatic, blowback-operated<br /> Barrel Length: Approximately 2.5 inches<br /> Frame Material: Steel and polymer<br /> Grip: Plastic or rubberized for comfort<br /> Sights: Fixed front sight, minimal rear sight<br /> Weight: Approximately 10 ounces (varies depending on material)<br /> History and Production<br /> Iver Johnson Arms, founded in 1871, is a well-known manufacturer of firearms, particularly revolvers and shotguns. The company gained recognition in the mid-20th century for producing affordable and reliable firearms, and the TP25 was a continuation of that tradition.<br /> <br /> Introduced in the early 1980s, the Iver Johnson TP25 was targeted primarily at the civilian market, catering to individuals who wanted a lightweight and inexpensive firearm for personal protection. The small size of the TP25 made it easy to conceal, and its .25 ACP chambering offered minimal recoil, making it an attractive option for those new to firearms or those seeking a secondary backup weapon.<br /> <br /> The revolver's production was limited, and it was eventually discontinued in the 1990s. Despite its relatively short production run, the TP25 remains a point of interest for collectors and firearms enthusiasts.<br /> <br /> Design and Features<br /> The TP25 is a blowback-operated semi-automatic pistol, meaning that the action is cycled purely through the energy generated by the pressure of the fired round. This design simplifies the pistol's operation and makes it more affordable to manufacture. The pistol features a 6-round magazine (in some models, the magazine capacity may vary), which is typical for small-caliber pistols.<br /> <br /> The TP25’s .25 ACP caliber is known for its low recoil, making it an attractive choice for individuals who may have difficulty handling larger calibers. However, the .25 ACP is also criticized for its relatively low stopping power compared to more powerful rounds like the .38 Special or 9mm.<br /> <br /> The TP25's frame is made from a combination of steel and polymer materials, which helps to keep the pistol lightweight while maintaining durability. Its small size and light weight—typically around 10 ounces—make it suitable for everyday carry, although its compactness does come with certain drawbacks, such as a limited capacity and reduced accuracy over longer distances.<br /> <br /> Performance and Handling<br /> Due to its small size and light weight, the Iver Johnson TP25 is easy to conceal and carry, making it a viable option for those seeking a backup gun or primary firearm for close-range self-defense. However, the TP25's short barrel and low-caliber ammunition limit its accuracy and effective range, making it most effective at very close distances, typically within 10 to 15 feet.<br /> <br /> The semi-automatic action allows for a quick follow-up shot, unlike revolvers, but the small frame and short barrel can make it harder to control, particularly for users with larger hands. The double-action trigger is often heavier than that of modern pistols, which may affect quick firing for some users.<br /> <br /> Despite these limitations, the TP25 remains a reliable and easy-to-operate firearm for close-quarters defense, particularly in situations where drawing and firing quickly is more important than long-range precision.<br /> <br /> Reliability and Limitations<br /> The Iver Johnson TP25 is generally regarded as a reliable firearm for its intended purpose of close-range self-defense. However, there are several limitations to consider:<br /> <br /> Low stopping power: The .25 ACP round is not known for its ability to incapacitate a threat quickly, especially compared to larger calibers.<br /> Limited capacity: With a 6-round magazine, the TP25 offers less ammunition capacity compared to modern semi-automatic handguns, which typically feature higher magazine capacities.<br /> Small sights and trigger: The compact design of the TP25 leads to limited sight options and a small trigger, which can hinder accuracy and ease of operation, particularly for those with larger hands or less experience.<br /> Limited range: Due to the short barrel and low-caliber ammunition, the TP25 is best suited for self-defense at close range, making it less effective in situations where a longer-range shot is required.<br /> Modern Day Use and Legacy<br /> Although the Iver Johnson TP25 is no longer in production, it continues to hold appeal for collectors and enthusiasts of compact firearms. Due to its affordability, simplicity, and small size, the TP25 remains a popular choice for individuals seeking a discreet backup weapon or a low-cost pistol for personal defense.<br /> <br /> The TP25 also represents an important part of Iver Johnson Arms' history, showcasing the company's dedication to producing small, practical firearms for the civilian market. While the TP25 may not be as widely used today as other modern pocket pistols or revolvers, it holds a place in the broader narrative of American self-defense firearms.<br /> <br /> Conclusion<br /> The Iver Johnson TP25 is a small, lightweight semi-automatic pistol that was designed for self-defense and concealed carry. Though its .25 ACP caliber and limited ammunition capacity may make it less effective compared to larger calibers, it remains a simple, affordable, and easily concealable option for those seeking a close-range self-defense firearm. Despite being discontinued in the 1990s, the TP25 continues to be a collector's item and is remembered for its role in the evolution of compact pistols.</div>

This rifle is also sold as the [[Mossberg 702 Plinkster]] with some minor differences.]]<br /> <br /> The '''Rossi RS22''' is a Brazilian-made semi-automatic [[Rimfire|rimfire]] rifle chambered in the [[.22 Long Rifle]] cartridge. It is manufactured (and imported?) for the [[Rossi]] USA brand by the [[Braztech]] company, which is also located in Brazil. <br /> <br /> It features an ergonomic polymer stock, a magazine capacity of 10 rounds out of the box, a free-floating 18-inch barrel and adjustable fiber-optic style sights. The RS22 is also available with the option of a threaded barrel from the factory. This model of rifle is also sold as the [[Mossberg 702 Plinkster]], but with a different stock.<br /> <br /> A [[.22 Magnum]] variant of the RS22 is available as the [[Rossi RS22M]].

This interchangeability includes swapping stock, internal components, magazines both OEM and aftermarket, and so on. One Reddit user argues in [https://www.reddit.com/r/guns/comments/bbicpn/rossi_rs22_and_mosberg_702_plinkster_have/ this Reddit thread] that the rifles are indeed fully interchangable in all aspects, including quality. However, in the same thread, another commenter argued that the Rossi and Mossberg models are made to different standards, and that &quot;It is not rare for the Brazilian equivalent to break in the first 100 shots, arrive rusted from factory, etc.&quot; Unfortunately, no verification is given for such claims on actual differences between quality control and so on.</div>
