Prudkým

Prudkým is a rare and discontinued rifle cartridge used in the early 20th century. It was designed by the Prudkí, a Russian firearms manufacturer, in the late 1910s. The cartridge was intended for use in hunting and target shooting.

The Prudkým cartridge had a 9.2 mm caliber and a bullet weight of 8-10 grams. It used a relatively unique design, with a semi-rimmed case and a pointed bullet. The cartridge was capable of achieving a muzzle velocity of around 600 m/s.

Historical records suggest that the Prudkým cartridge was primarily used in the Russian Empire and was not widely adopted by the military. It is believed to have been superseded by more modern cartridges, such as the 9x52mm Mauser, which offered improved performance and accuracy.

Today, the Prudkým cartridge is largely obsolete and is no longer manufactured or widely used. However, it remains of interest to collectors and enthusiasts of historical firearms. The Prudkým cartridge is also occasionally discussed in online forums and by collectors of rare and obscure cartridges.

Few technical specifications and datasheets for the Prudkým cartridge have survived, but the existing information suggests that the cartridge was designed with a relatively modest performance profile, making it suitable for small game hunting and target shooting. The exact performance characteristics of the Prudkým cartridge are not well documented, and more research is needed to clarify its specifications.
