Here are a few small calibre rounds I have in my collection.
Round 1

Weapon: M16, SA80
Round 2
Case: Steel

Headstamp: 270 88

Weapon: PDW (Personal Defence Weapons), FN 5-7N pistol, FN's P90 SMG
Round 4
Case: Brass
Calibre: 4.6x30mm

Round 5
Calibre: .17 HMR
Round 6

Who manufactures Round 1, can anybody identify Round 2? What do we know about Round 3 & 4 which I think are the most interesting and what are RG producing 4.6x30mm ammunition for? Can anybody tell me the history of these rounds? Rounds 5 & 6 are only there to show size differences.
What is the best online headstamp guide?
