The nominal size is the calibre designation as a number — the figure the approved rulebooks use for their calibre ranges. It is not a measurement of bullet diameter; this index does not list that.
Ignition type after the C.I.P. tables of approved cartridges (TAB. V — rimfire cartridges). Where it is not documented, nothing is shown.

A hit means: an approved set of sport regulations has a discipline for this gun type. It does NOT mean you have a recognized need. Membership and holding period, the shooting activity record, purchase spacing and the quota come on top — the association certifies, the authority decides. No guarantee; the wording of the regulations governs.
