History

The factory draws its origins to an ammunition factory established in Saint Petersburg (designated Arsenal "P") in the 19th century. It was evacuated to Podolsk in 1918 during the Russian Civil War[1] Production was restarted under the Factory "P" designation in 1920 and was redesignated Factory 17 in 1928. During World War 2 it was evacuated again to its current location in Barnaul in 1941.[1] The factory is part of the Barnaul Machine Tool Building Plant holding.[2]

Product lines (brands)
Centaur cartridges logo
  • BEAR series
    • The BEAR series is a line of hunting ammunition. The cartridges use lead-cored Full Metal Jacketed, Soft-Point (Semi-Jacketed), or Hollow Point bullets, have steel cases with Berdan primers, and use a non-corrosive propellant and primers. The sub-brands differ only in the protective coating used on the cartridge case.
    • Brown Bear ammunition cartridges have a brown lacquer coating on the steel case.
    • Silver Bear ammunition cartridges have a zinc coating on the steel case.
    • Golden Bear[3] ammunition cartridges have a brass coating on the steel case.
  • CENTAUR ammunition cartridges have a polymer coating on the steel case, are berdan primed, use non-corrosive Belgian-made propellants produced by P.B. Clermont S.A.,[4] and are loaded with American-made "tombac" jacketed bullets produced by Hornady Manufacturing Company.[5] Barnaul began a process of retooling in 2009[4] to produce a new line of higher-grade ammunition to compete in the American and European markets. This was either due to their previous products being compared unfavorably or because Russian ammunition has a stigma of being poorly made and unreliable. The first CENTAUR brand ammunition was produced in 2013.[4]

gollark: I just do```javascriptconst days = parseInt(getCapture(text, /.*in: ([0-9]+) day/, 0));const hours = parseInt(getCapture(text, /.*and ([0-9]+) hour/, 0));```now.
gollark: Hmm. I'm not sure whether it'd be worth switching out my current parsing thing or not.

It’s a cute baby dragon. Its markings give off an otherworldly light.Young dragons are relatively defenseless. They are born with relatively soft scales, which are shed and replaced with harder ones as the hatchling matures. Once a hatchling’s wings grow in, it marks the beginning of maturation. At this point they are often capable of hunting on their own and are usually left alone by their mother.(Please note that it is against the site rules to give aid to a user without their permission.)```
