Point Blank Ammunition Pressing and Caliber Guide
Ammunition pressing in Vic's Point Blank converts copper ingots and gunpowder into distinct ballistic cartridge calibers and explosive ordnance. Matching each firearm to its designated ammunition caliber ensures optimal firepower, whether supplying sidearms with pistol cartridges, running automatic assault rifles with intermediate rounds, or loading rocket launchers with anti-armor warheads.
Handgun and Submachine Gun Cartridges
Pistols and submachine guns utilize compact calibers pressed from basic metallic components. Inside the weapon printer, combining one 
Copper Ingot with one 
Gunpowder produces batches of ammunition:
- Pressing one copper ingot with one gunpowder yields nineteen rounds of
9mm for standard combat sidearms. - Pressing one copper ingot with one gunpowder yields nineteen rounds of
.45 ACP for heavy-caliber tactical pistols. - Pressing one copper ingot with one gunpowder produces nineteen rounds of
.357 for revolvers. - Pressing one copper ingot with one gunpowder creates nineteen rounds of
.50 AE for heavy semi-automatic hand cannons. - Pressing one copper ingot with one gunpowder manufactures nineteen rounds of
4.6mm and 
5.7mm for compact personal defense weapons.
Intermediate and Service Rifle Calibers
Military service rifles, carbines, and designated marksman platforms demand heavier cartridges for extended combat engagements. All standard rifle rounds are pressed using one Copper Ingot and one Gunpowder:
- Pressing one copper ingot with one gunpowder yields seventeen rounds of
5.56mm for standard service carbines. - Pressing one copper ingot with one gunpowder yields seventeen rounds of
5.45mm for modern assault rifles. - Pressing one copper ingot with one gunpowder produces seventeen rounds of
7.62mm for classic battle rifles. - Pressing one copper ingot with one gunpowder yields seventeen rounds of
6.8mm for specialized rifles. - Pressing one copper ingot with one gunpowder manufactures sixteen rounds of
7.62x51mm for designated marksman platforms.
Heavy Sniper and Anti-Material Rounds
Long-range precision platforms require large high-velocity rounds:
- Pressing one copper ingot with one gunpowder produces ten rounds of
.338 Lapua for precision bolt-action sniper systems. - Pressing one copper ingot with one gunpowder produces eight rounds of
.50 BMG for anti-material rifles.
Heavy Explosive Ordnance
Demolitions and anti-armor weaponry require reinforced gunmetal cases and high-explosive charges:
- Anti-Tank Rockets: Feeding one
Gunmetal Ingot and one 
TNT into the weapon printer manufactures one 
AT4 Rocket. - Launcher Grenades: Feeding one Copper Ingot, one
Iron Ingot, and one TNT into the weapon printer manufactures one round of 
Grenade 20mm for specialized grenade launching weapons.
