All [[Ammunition#Firearm calibers|firearm caliber ammunition]] can be handloaded, with three exceptions:
 +
* [[.22 Long Rifle]]: Cannot be handloaded, but is nominally loaded with a small quantity of Pistol powder. You may disassemble rounds of .22 LR ammunition to harvest Pistol powder - exact quantity and quality depends on the type of .22 LR ammunition disassembled. Doing so, however, will not produce any usable casings, primers, or projectiles.
 +
* [[4.2x30mm R Golden Gun]]: Cannot be handloaded or disassembled. Such ammunition uses completely custom-designed, proprietary casings, primers, powders and projectiles which cannot be found for sale anywhere. The only way to acquire ammunition in this caliber is to find it in the UA.
 +
* [[4.73x33mm Caseless]]: Cannot be handloaded or disassembled. Due to the caseless nature of the cartridge, there is no traditional case or powder; they are essentially blocks of solid propellant that is completely disintegrated upon firing, propelling the bullet it contains forwards. This bullet is also completely proprietary, and cannot be used to load ammunition in other calibers.

The cases and hulls of all [[Ammunition#Firearm calibers|firearm caliber ammunition]] can be used in the game, with three exceptions: [[.22 Long Rifle]], [[4.2x30mm R Golden Gun]] and [[4.73x33mm Caseless]]; none of these can be handloaded. In the case of the latter, as the term "Caseless" suggests, this caliber doesn't use cases at all in the first place.
 
  
 
Cases and hulls can be found for sale at gun shops and weapon shops, in boxes of 50.

'''Powder''' (or '''gunpowder''') is the charge of propellant contained within a round of ammunition. The type and quantity of powder may influence the performance of the ammunition.
  
−
(include this:) It must be noted that [[.22 Long Rifle]] ammunition may be disassembled, however doing so will not produce usable primers, casings or projectiles, but it will produce a small quantity of pistol powder.
+
Powders in the game are divided in two types and three subvariants, representing the powder's quality. The two types of powder are simply known as '''pistol powder''' and '''rifle powder'''. Each is available in three subvariants: '''Regular''', '''Surplus''' and '''Premium'''.
 +
 
 +
As explained on [[Ammunition#Pressure_levels_and_powder_quality|this page]], quantity of powder determines pressure level, and quality of powder determines how cleanly powder burns and in turn how much Condition the weapon loses if a critical failure is sustained when firing.
 +
 
 +
* '''Regular''' ('''Reg''') powder is standard, factory-grade propellant suitable for most purposes, and is found in the vast majority of ammunition found in the mazes.
 +
* '''Surplus''' ('''Surp''') powder is low-quality, bulk-grade propellant; it is much cheaper and far easier to acquire in large quantities. However, when sustaining a critical failure while shooting ammunition loaded with Regular powder, Condition lost is tripled (3x).
 +
* '''Premium''' ('''Prem''') powder is high-quality, clean-burning propellant made for handloaders and discerning shooters, conscious of their weapons' longevity. When sustaining a critical failure while shooting ammunition loaded with Premium powder, Condition lost is divided by 4 (0.25x).
 +
 
 +
The exact type (pistol or rifle) and quantities of powder required to handload a single round of ammunition depends on the caliber and desired pressure level; see each individual caliber page for more information.
 +
 
 +
Powders are sold in jars containing up to 35 000 '''powder units''' ('''pwdr''') each, but powder may also be harvested from disassembling rounds of ammunition, as long as you have empty powder jars to contain the ammunition into, or partially filled jars of the same type and quality.
 +
 
 +
All powder jars have a Weight of 0.5, regardless of how much powder they contain.

'''Projectiles''' are what leave the barrel of a firearm, intended to inflict damage to targets. This term covers what is correctly referred to as '''bullets''' (the projectiles of pistol and rifle cartridges), '''shot''' (shotgun cartridge pellets), '''slugs''' (large singular projectiles loaded in shotgun shells), and '''exotic projectiles''' (anything else; typically refers to the projectiles of exotic shotgun shells).
 +
 
 +
The exact cost of a box of projectiles depends as much on its dimensions as its type.
 +
 
 +
== Bullets ==
 +
 
 +
'''Bullets''' follow a basic nomenclature of '''bullet dimensions, and type''', and just like complete rounds of ammunition, may be '''categorized''' as either <span style="color:#0000AA">'''(P)'''</span>istol bullets or <span style="color:#AA0000">'''(R)'''</span>ifle bullets. Dimensions include the bullet's diameter and mass in grains, whereas type refers to the [[Ammunition#Pistol and rifle caliber projectiles|ammo type]].
 +
 
 +
Bullet dimensions determine which cases (and in turn which caliber) they are compatible with, whereas type will simply influence the ammo type of the completed round of ammunition.
 +
* Example: '''.308, 150 grain, JSP''' - The dimensions of this bullet are '''.308, 150 grain''', making it compatible with [[7.62x51mm NATO]] or [[.30-06 Springfield]]. '''JSP''' means this is a '''jacketed soft point''' bullet, and will create a round of JSP ammunition when loaded.
 +
 
 +
The category of a bullet (whether it is a <span style="color:#0000AA">'''(P)'''</span>istol bullet or <span style="color:#AA0000">'''(R)'''</span>ifle bullet) determines what bullet types may be available. For instance, <span style="color:#0000AA">'''(P)'''</span>istol bullets have exclusive access to '''LSWC and LSWCHP''' whereas <span style="color:#AA0000">'''(R)'''</span>ifle bullets have exclusive access to '''HPX, APX and API'''.
 +
 
 +
Certain combinations of projectile dimensions and bullet types are only available as handloading ingredients and cannot be found for sale in factory-loaded, retail ammunition. As such, careful selection of caliber, projectile, and powder quality may allow a discerning handloader to create unique, fully custom ammunition.
 +
 
 +
Bullets can be found for sale at gun shops and weapon shops. All bullets have an individual Weight of 0.01 and all are sold in boxes of 50. Thus, a full box of bullets has a Weight of 0.5). The table below will list the cost of a box of '''FMJ''' projectiles. For other types of bullets, refer to '''[[Ammunition#Pistol and rifle caliber projectiles|this table]]''' and apply the corresponding value multiplier to the box's shop value, rounding to the nearest [[File:Parallar symbol.png|10px]]'''0.05'''.

As per usual


A disassembled 7.62x51mm NATO JSP round, showing its individual components.

The category of handloading items regroups every type of item that is useful for handloading.

There are six types of handloading items: Kits, primers, cases and hulls, wads, powders, and projectiles.

All firearm caliber ammunition can be handloaded, with three exceptions:

  • .22 Long Rifle: Cannot be handloaded, but is nominally loaded with a small quantity of Pistol powder. You may disassemble rounds of .22 LR ammunition to harvest Pistol powder - exact quantity and quality depends on the type of .22 LR ammunition disassembled. Doing so, however, will not produce any usable casings, primers, or projectiles.
  • 4.2x30mm R Golden Gun: Cannot be handloaded or disassembled. Such ammunition uses completely custom-designed, proprietary casings, primers, powders and projectiles which cannot be found for sale anywhere. The only way to acquire ammunition in this caliber is to find it in the UA.
  • 4.73x33mm Caseless: Cannot be handloaded or disassembled. Due to the caseless nature of the cartridge, there is no traditional case or powder; they are essentially blocks of solid propellant that is completely disintegrated upon firing, propelling the bullet it contains forwards. This bullet is also completely proprietary, and cannot be used to load ammunition in other calibers.


Kits

Handloading kits are portable kits containing equipment necessary for handloading and disassembling rounds of firearm ammunition.

There are 3 different types: Pistol ammo handloading kit, Rifle ammo handloading kit and Shotgun ammo handloading kit. Each kit type corresponds to ammunition categories, and allows a character to handload and disassemble ammunition of the corresponding category. It is important to note that they are not consumable items and that they are always available as long as they're in the inventory. As such, if all three are carried, nearly all types of firearm ammunition can be handloaded and disassembled.

Handloading kits can be found for sale at workshops, and each has a Weight of 5 and a shop value of Parallar symbol.png2500.


Primers

A primer is a small, cylindrical, button-shaped object that is found at the base of a complete round of ammunition. Primers contain a small charge of shock-sensitive compound. When struck by a firing pin, the primer compound releases heat, which ignites the powder and in turn generates the energy necessary to push the bullet (or projectiles) out of the barrel.

There are seven types of primers, all standardized by size: Small pistol (SP), Small rifle (SR), Shotshell (SS), Large pistol (LP), Large rifle (LR), Large rifle magnum (LRM), and Machine gun (MG).

Primers can be found for sale at gun shops and weapon shops, in boxes of 100.

All primers have a Weight of 0.01.

Cases and hulls

The term case (or casing) refers to the brass container, into which all of the other components of a round of ammunition are inserted. After firing, a spent case or hull is all that remains.

A hull is the shotgun shell equivalent of a case, but is otherwise identical in function.

Cases and hulls can be found for sale at gun shops and weapon shops, in boxes of 50.

Wads

A disassembled 12 gauge Buckshot shell, showing its individual components, including the wad.

Wads are plastic cups, found exclusively inside shotshells. Their purpose is to act as a buffer between the powder and the projectiles inside of a shotshell, allowing the powder to push against an even surface and waste as little energy as possible when fired.

There is one type of wad per shotgun bore size, and therefore, only 3 types of wads. 12 gauge and 12 gauge CAWS can both use the same type of wad, the 12 gauge wad.

Wads can be found for sale at gun shops and weapon shops, in boxes of 50.

All wads have a Weight of 0.01.

.410 bore 2.50 0.05 .410 bore
20 gauge 5 0.10 20 gauge
12 gauge 5 0.10 12 gauge
12 gauge CAWS

Powders

Powder (or gunpowder) is the charge of propellant contained within a round of ammunition. The type and quantity of powder may influence the performance of the ammunition.

Powders in the game are divided in two types and three subvariants, representing the powder's quality. The two types of powder are simply known as pistol powder and rifle powder. Each is available in three subvariants: Regular, Surplus and Premium.

As explained on this page, quantity of powder determines pressure level, and quality of powder determines how cleanly powder burns and in turn how much Condition the weapon loses if a critical failure is sustained when firing.

  • Regular (Reg) powder is standard, factory-grade propellant suitable for most purposes, and is found in the vast majority of ammunition found in the mazes.
  • Surplus (Surp) powder is low-quality, bulk-grade propellant; it is much cheaper and far easier to acquire in large quantities. However, when sustaining a critical failure while shooting ammunition loaded with Regular powder, Condition lost is tripled (3x).
  • Premium (Prem) powder is high-quality, clean-burning propellant made for handloaders and discerning shooters, conscious of their weapons' longevity. When sustaining a critical failure while shooting ammunition loaded with Premium powder, Condition lost is divided by 4 (0.25x).

The exact type (pistol or rifle) and quantities of powder required to handload a single round of ammunition depends on the caliber and desired pressure level; see each individual caliber page for more information.

Powders are sold in jars containing up to 35 000 powder units (pwdr) each, but powder may also be harvested from disassembling rounds of ammunition, as long as you have empty powder jars to contain the ammunition into, or partially filled jars of the same type and quality.

All powder jars have a Weight of 0.5, regardless of how much powder they contain.

Projectiles

Projectiles are what leave the barrel of a firearm, intended to inflict damage to targets. This term covers what is correctly referred to as bullets (the projectiles of pistol and rifle cartridges), shot (shotgun cartridge pellets), slugs (large singular projectiles loaded in shotgun shells), and exotic projectiles (anything else; typically refers to the projectiles of exotic shotgun shells).

The exact cost of a box of projectiles depends as much on its dimensions as its type.

Bullets

Bullets follow a basic nomenclature of bullet dimensions, and type, and just like complete rounds of ammunition, may be categorized as either (P)istol bullets or (R)ifle bullets. Dimensions include the bullet's diameter and mass in grains, whereas type refers to the ammo type.

Bullet dimensions determine which cases (and in turn which caliber) they are compatible with, whereas type will simply influence the ammo type of the completed round of ammunition.

  • Example: .308, 150 grain, JSP - The dimensions of this bullet are .308, 150 grain, making it compatible with 7.62x51mm NATO or .30-06 Springfield. JSP means this is a jacketed soft point bullet, and will create a round of JSP ammunition when loaded.

The category of a bullet (whether it is a (P)istol bullet or (R)ifle bullet) determines what bullet types may be available. For instance, (P)istol bullets have exclusive access to LSWC and LSWCHP whereas (R)ifle bullets have exclusive access to HPX, APX and API.

Certain combinations of projectile dimensions and bullet types are only available as handloading ingredients and cannot be found for sale in factory-loaded, retail ammunition. As such, careful selection of caliber, projectile, and powder quality may allow a discerning handloader to create unique, fully custom ammunition.

Bullets can be found for sale at gun shops and weapon shops. All bullets have an individual Weight of 0.01 and all are sold in boxes of 50. Thus, a full box of bullets has a Weight of 0.5). The table below will list the cost of a box of FMJ projectiles. For other types of bullets, refer to this table and apply the corresponding value multiplier to the box's shop value, rounding to the nearest Parallar symbol.png0.05.

Shotgun projectiles

Three different types of shotgun projectiles exist: Shot (groups of round pellets), Slugs (large singular projectiles) and Exotic (everything else).

Shot refers to round pellets used in certain types of shotshells such as birdshot or buckshot.
