C.I.P.
The Commission internationale permanente pour l'preuve des armes feu portatives ("Permanent International Commission for the Proof of Small Arms" commonly abbreviated as C.I.P.) is an international organisation which sets standards for safety testing of firearms. (The word portatives ("portable") in the name refers to the fact the C.I.P. tests small arms almost exclusively; it is ordinarily omitted from the English translation of the name.) As of 2015, its members are the national governments of 14 countries, of which 11 are European Union member states. The C.I.P. safeguards that all firearms and ammunition sold to civilian purchasers in member states are safe for the users.
To achieve this, all such firearms are first proof tested at C.I.P. accredited Proof Houses. The same applies for cartridges; at regular intervals, cartridges are tested against the C.I.P. pressure specifications at the ammunition manufacturing plants and at C.I.P. accredited Proof Houses.
The 7.62x54mmR, also known as Russ.Nagant, is a widely recognized rifle cartridge. Originating in the late 19th century, it gained prominence as the standard ammunition for rifles like the Mosin-Nagant series and the Dragunov sniper rifle. This rimmed cartridge design offers reliability in bolt-action rifles and machine guns, showcasing remarkable ballistic performance for medium to long-range accuracy. Its historical significance in wars like World War I and II, along with its adaptability for sporting and hunting, has maintained its popularity among enthusiasts and collectors.
