4. Both (1) and (2) 

5. For the manufacturing of the plain lead bullets, which manufacturing process is (are) useful?

1. Swaged
2. Casting
3. Drilled
4. Both (1) and (2)
5. Both (2) and (3)

6. Assertion (A): Swaging is one of the processes of making plain lead bullets.
Explanation (E): In the process, a lead wire is cut with the desired length then forged with hydraulics into correct dimensions.

1. Both (A) and (E) are correct
2. (A) is correct, but (E) is incorrect
3. Both (A) and (E) are incorrect
4. (A) is incorrect, but (E) is correct

7. Currently, which method— Swaged or Casting— is majorly used for the production of plain lead bullets?

1. Swaged
2. Casting
3. Share equal margin
4. Not predictive

8. Jacketed bullets are covered by harder material such as……..

1. Copper/Nickel Alloy
2. Copper/Zinc Alloy
3. Plain Steel coat
4. Both (1) and (3)
5. All of the above

9. A jacketed bullet is coated with gilding-metal. Which of the following is (are) called to gilding metals?

1. Alloy of 50% of Copper and Zinc each
2. Alloy of Copper, nickel, and zinc (equal amount)
3. Copper (more than 90%) & Zinc (10% or less)
4. Copper (more than 70%) & Zinc (30% or less) 

10. Jacketed bullets are usually washed with which of the following material?

1. Zinc Wash
2. Copper Wash
3. Lacquer Wash
4. Both (2) and (3)

11.  Assertion (A): Jacketed bullets have numerous advantages.
Reason (R): One of the main advantages is, it prevents the breaking of bullets on heavy or thick-skinned targets. 

1. Both (A) and (R) are correct
2. (A) is correct, but (R) is incorrect
3. Both (A) and (R) are incorrect
4. (A) is incorrect, but (R) is correct

12. Which is not a coating material for the jacket layer in the jacketed bullets?

1. Copper
2. Zinc
3. Black Nylon
4. Fragile plastics

13. When the jacketed bullets have a black nylon layer as the covering material, it is called to be?

1. Nylon Clad
2. Nyloncad
3. Nyclad
4. Nylon Bullet proofs

14. Assertion(A): Nyclad bullets have a reduced velocity than a normal non-jacketed lead bullet. 
Reason (R): Nyclad layer reduces the fouling in the bore but increases the friction with the bore. 

1. Both (A) and (R) are correct
2. (A) is correct, but (R) is incorrect
3. Both (A) and (R) are incorrect
4. (A) is incorrect, but (R) is correct

15. The term ‘Luballoy’ is used to describe which type of ammunition?

1. Bullets with copper wash
2. Bullets with zinc wash
3. Bullets with black nylon
4. Bullets with tin wash

16. Assertion (A): Copper coated lead bullets reduces the fouling process.
Reason (R): Coated bullets reduces the deposition of lead in the barrel.

1. Both (A) and (R) are correct
2. (A) is correct, but (R) is incorrect
3. Both (A) and (R) are incorrect
4. (A) is incorrect, but (R) is correct

17. Assertion (A): Lead deposition reduces the internal diameter.
Reason (R): With each firing, lead bullets thrown down the barrel which results in the deposition. This can give rise to higher fouling and sometimes barrel blast.  

1. Both (A) and (R) are correct
2. (A) is correct, but (R) is incorrect
3. Both (A) and (R) are incorrect
4. (A) is incorrect, but (R) is correct

18. Assertion (A): Nowadays, copper washed bullets were trending and popular.
Reason (R): Copper coating materials are effective than cheaper standard bullet lubricants.

1. Both (A) and (R) are correct
2. (A) is correct, but (R) is incorrect
3. Both (A) and (R) are incorrect
4. (A) is incorrect, but (R) is correct

19. Assertion (A): Thickly layered electro-deposited copper layer is used as ammunitions in heavily used ranges.
Reason (R): Electro-deposited lead bullets have an end-to-end coating of copper even at the base of the bullet.

1. Both (A) and (R) are correct
2. (A) is correct, but (R) is incorrect
3. Both (A) and (R) are incorrect
4. (A) is incorrect, but (R) is correct
