My son(14yrs)had his interview yesterday for FAC/SGC, a couple of the questions asked apart from the usual safty questions was,'Can you give me the 7 components that make up as shot gun cartridge'.Astonishingly Josh knew the answer.,also FEO threw in the one about whats the procedure following a shotgun missfire which Josh also knew.All other questions where fine & hope fully licence will be granted.

That's as far as I got before I decided I was obviously unfit to hold a SGC.

I honestly don't the relevance to being a suitable holder of an SGC........perhaps important to a reloader, if you take the case as 2 components that's still 6 overshot card not on factory loads on RTO and paper cases?

How about this.................http://homestudy.ihea.com/ammo/12shell.htm

 

Which says it's 5 parts;-

 

Primer

Brass Head

Powder

Wad

Shot

Case

 

Which, incidentally, are the only parts I used years ago when I used to reload.

If we break down the case into component parts, we could add in the base wad and we're then up to the 7 for plastic wadded versions. Would like to know what the lad (to his credit) said.

Ok I'll hold my hands up, I'm struggling with 7 parts, but I'm even more confused now, how does that make 5?

 

1 Primer

2 Brass Head

3 Powder

4 Wad

5 Shot

6 Case

 

???

Do you really need to point out to the world that I'm thick as two short planks !!

 

Looking at it again I guess the case and brass are really one item............therefore making it 5.

What a load of rubbish, if the question isnt fictional then the FEO is off his rocker, why not ask how the barrel is made, what pressure will the gas in the chamber reach, whats the velocity of the shot leaving the barrel, how far will the shot go, how far will a .22lr bullet go against a 10mph wind, how loud is a shotgun in decibels etc etc etc etc etc. Such nonsense.
