The interior walls of a magazine are lined, and the floors laid so that there may be no exposed
iron or
steel. At the entrance, there is a lobby or barrier, inside which persons about to enter the magazine change their clothes for a special suit, and their boots for a pair made without nails. In an ammunition or shell store these precautions need not be taken except where the shell store and the adjacent cartridge store have a common entrance; persons entering may do so in their ordinary clothes.

Anti-personnel shells contain
shrapnel and are designed to explode in mid-air, so its fragments will spread over a large area. Armor-piercing ammunition tends to be hard, sharp, and narrow, often with
lubrication. Incendiary projectiles include a material such as
white phosphorus which burns fiercely.

Components of ammunition
The components of ammunition intended for rifles and munitions may be divided into these categories:
Fuzes
The spelling fuze is used for artillery ammunition by militaries which use the English language, to differentiate it from fuses, which are circuit breakers or explosive detonators.
.^ What they also share in common is a clear point in time that the public can point to and say "this was where he blew it."- Hunting With Jim Zumbo 20 September 2009 1:21 UTC razoreye.net [Source type: General]
Point detonating fuzes detonate upon contact with the ground. Delay fuzes are designed to penetrate a short distance before detonating. Time fuzes, as the name implies, detonate a certain time after being fired in order to achieve an air burst above the target. Time fuzes are set to the tenth of a second.
Proximity or variable time fuzes contain a simple radio
transceiver activated a set time after firing to detonate the projectile when the signal reflected from the ground reaches a certain strength, designed to be 7 meters above the ground.
.^ I have a few military surplus rifles in the arms locker,and to me, they pose no threat, they aren't rearing and ready to spread terror amongst the populance.- Hunting With Jim Zumbo 20 September 2009 1:21 UTC razoreye.net [Source type: General]

In this case separate loading ammunition is used: the projectile and propelling charge are supplied and loaded separately. The projectile is rammed home in the chamber, the powder charge(s) are loaded (usually by hand), then the breech is closed and the primer is inserted into the primer holder on the back the breech. Separate loading ammunition is typically used on 155 mm and larger howitzers. Several propellant types are available for 155 mm howitzer.
All normal projectiles arrive at the weapon with a plug in the
fuze well on the nose of the projectile. Using a special fuze wrench, the plug is unscrewed and a fuze is screwed in.
