But, I have to say over the course of time I should learn a lot from this thread. Thanks for the info.
Some ranges do not allow steel core or steel jacketed bullets. If you place a magnet to the bullet and it attracts it, you either have a steel core or steel jacket. Most U.S.-made bullets use a copper/zinc allow jacket and lead core. There are of course exceptions. Basically, you need to spend more time on this site.

I live on a farm and have my own ranges out to 600yds, I have never been to a shooting range. Thats why I didnt know. Oh well. |
There's your answers. I dnld them from the internet. Give me my Master Degree. Isn't that how school is done these days. 
|
It does help if you own a particular firearm because you will end up reading up on it. I know a lot about 7.62X39 ammo because I own AK's. But the sum total of my knowledge about that particular cartridge barely scratches the surface on the information that is out there. There are some people that can pick up a cartridge and rattle off the country of origin, whether it is corrosive or not, whether it is steel core or not, the bullet type, etc. It's actually very embarrassing to realize how little you really know about it in the face of these experts.

I wouldn't have known without reading ARFCOM |
That's a good point. I can fix it by changing the 1911 to another pistol. See, even I'm not a 'weapons expert'. ETA: Now that I look at it, the CZ-82 also has the safety on the frame. Hey, I said choose the 'best' answer. 
|
That's where the 'best' choice comes in. By the rifles other features, you can rule out all the other answers. But you're absolutely right that it would be easier if you could see the other side for the folding bayonet. |
Thank you for the compliments guys.  I obviously 'borrowed' some of the questions from The Ammo Oracle.  I noticed that some of the pictures aren't loading up completely. Is this a bandwidth problem that some donated $$ could fix?

This is why it would need to be a 400 question exam. You could then cover a broad range of topics. |
