GUN DATA CODES
SECTION 1--MAKE (MAK) FIELD CODES
1.1 MAK FIELD
Section 1.5 contains MAK Field codes listed alphabetically by gun manufacturer. If a make is not listed, the
code ZZZ should be entered as characters 1 through 3 of the MAK Field with the actual manufacturer's name
appearing in positions 4 through 23. This manufacturer's name will appear as entered in any record
response. If the MAK Field code is ZZZ and positions 4 through 23 are blank, the MAK Field will be translated
as MAK/UNKNOWN in the record response. For unlisted makes, the CJIS Division staff should be contacted
at 304-625-3000 for code assignments. Additional coding instructions can be found in the Gun File chapter of
the NCIC 2000 Operating Manual.

1.2 MAK FIELD CODE FOR U.S. MILITARY-ISSUE WEAPONS
For firearms (including surplus weapons) that are U.S. military-issue weapons, the MAK Field
code USA should be used. Common U.S. military-issue weapons include the following:

U.S. Military-Issue Weapons
.45 caliber and/or 9 mm U.S. Submachine Guns: M1, M1A1, M1928, M1928A1
(Thompson), M50, M55 (Reising), M42 (United Defense), M3, M3A1 ("Grease Gun")
.45 caliber U.S. (Colt) Pistols, M1911, and 1911A1
.45 caliber U.S. Revolvers, M1917
.30 caliber U.S. Carbines, M1, M2, M3
7.62 mm U.S. Rifle, M14
5.56 mm U.S. Rifle, M16 and M16A1, etc.
.30 caliber U.S. Rifles: Models 1892, 94, 96, 98 (Krag); Models 1903 and 1903A3,
etc. (Springfield); M1 (Garand); and M1917 (Enfield)
.30 caliber U.S. Machine Guns (including the BAR, etc.)
.410-gauge and/or .22 U.S. Survival Guns, M4 and M6

1.3 MAK FIELD CODES FOR NONMILITARY U.S. GOVERNMENT WEAPONS
For a nonmilitary weapon bearing a U.S. Government property inscription and the manufacturer's
name on the frame or receiver, the appropriate manufacturer's MAK Field code from Section 1.5
should be used. For example, MAK/SW should be used for Smith & Wesson, and MAK/CLT should
be used for Colt revolvers bearing the inscription U.S. Border patrol, Naval Investigative Service, U.S.
Air Force, Treasury Department, etc.

1.4 MAK FIELD FOR FOREIGN MILITARY WEAPONS
Foreign military firearms should be coded according to the make on the firearm. If the make
is undeterminable, codes should be selected according to the country where the gun was
manufactured. If neither the make nor the country where manufactured is known, additional
information concerning coding can be found in the Gun File chapter in the NCIC 2000
Operating Manual.

Unknown or unlisted gun make; see Introduction, Section 1.1

*Indicates that the code is no longer used for this make, brand, model, or trademark.

SECTION 2--CALIBER (CAL) FIELD CODES
2.1 CAL FIELD CODES
Firearms are identified by make, model, serial number, type (rifle, shotgun, etc.), and cartridge-type designation.
Cartridge types are most often expressed in calibers (decimals of an inch) or in millimeters, for example the .357
Magnum and 9 mm Luger. It is also possible for the same cartridge to have both an English and a metric
designation. For example, the .308 Winchester is also known as the 7.62x51 NATO. A weapon with this cartridgetype designation could be entered using either the CAL 308 or 762. Entries should be made based on the
markings on the weapon.
Many ammunition and weapon manufacturers name cartridge types after the company. One example is the 7 mm
Remington Magnum that was developed by the Remington Arms Company. The manufacturer associated with a
cartridge type should not be confused with the make of the firearm. For example, the .38 Smith & Wesson (S & W)
Special cartridge was developed by Smith & Wesson, but many companies manufacture weapons chambered for
this cartridge type.
The Caliber (CAL) Field is intended to contain the broad cartridge-type designation of a firearm. Because of the
volume of cartridge types and the differing methods of measurement used (English, metric, or gauge) in identifying
them, the table below has been prepared to assist in data entry. The "CAL" column contains the CAL codes, and
the "Common Names/Examples" column contains common cartridge-type designation examples. In cases of
ambiguity in cartridge-type designations, further identifying information, if available, should be placed in the
Miscellaneous (MIS) Field.
Users will note that some cartridge types have more than one designation. Additionally, due to exisiting
programming, the NCIC 2000 System does not distinguish between some cartridge types with similar
designations. The .308 Winchester/7.62x51 NATO, as noted above, could be entered as either 308 or 762. If
entered as 762, no distinction between a 7.62x51 NATO, a 7.62x39 Soviet, or a 7.62 mm Tokarev would be
made. Users should be aware of this when making Gun File inquiries, especially if an inquiry leads to multiple hits
on firearms with similar cartridge-type designations.

2.2 CAL FIELD CODES FOR SHOTGUNS
The gauge system of bore measurement is unique and totally different from the English
caliber or metric methods of measurement. Shotgun gauges are normally expressed as
whole numbers, followed by the word "gauge" or an abbreviation for it, for example 12-gauge
or 12-ga. Under the English system of shotgun gauges, the lower the numerical value, the
larger the bore diameter. With most common shotgun cartridge types, the bore diameter
when expressed in decimals of an inch or millimeters is not the same as the gauge. A 12gauge's bore diameter is not .12 caliber; nor is it 12 millimeters. The exception is the 410gauge; it is a true .41-caliber bore diameter. There are also metric designations in use (listed
below), but these will usually be designated in millimeters or with the abbreviation "mm." The
appropriate gauge should be entered in the CAL Field. Some shotgun gauges are
numerically the same as some calibers, especially metric designations. The weapon type
should be designated in the Type (TYP) Field to eliminate any confusion.

3.2 MOST FREQUENTLY USED TYP FIELD CODES
Gun Type

Code

Comments

Cannon

Example: U.S. 105 mm howitzer.

Grenade launcher

launchers.

Machine gun

Any full-size military automatic machine gun.
Examples: U.S. M60, U.S. Browning Model
1919A4. Most machine guns use rifle-caliber
ammunition. Some large-caliber machine
guns, such as the U.S. .50-caliber Browning
M2HB machine gun, use special ammunition.

Mortar launcher

Example: U.S. 60 mm mortar launcher.

Pistol, Automatic

Keeps firing as long as the trigger is held
back. Originally designed as a handgun, it
has a selector switch that allows it to be fully
automatic and may be fitted with a shoulder
stock. Should not be confused with
semiautomatic pistol. A fully automatic pistol
should be coded with TYP code B.

Pistol, Bolt-action

Example: Remington Model XP 100.

Pistol, Derringer

Small handgun that may be single-shot (one
barrel) or two shot (double-barreled).

Pistol, Flintlock

A muzzle-loading handgun fired by the action
of a piece of flint held in the hammer jaws.

Pistol, Jet-propelled

Example: 13 mm Gyrojet handgun
manufactured by MB Associates.

Pistol, Percussion

Black-powder handgun fired by the hammer
striking a percussion cap as opposed to a
flintlock or modern metallic cartridge
ammunition.

Pistol, Revolver

Uses a cylinder to retain the cartridges in the
weapon.

Pistol, Semiautomatic

Also known as autoloading or self-loading.
Often incorrectly referred to as "automatic."
Fires only one shot with each pull of the
trigger. Examples: .45-caliber U.S. 1911A1
pistol, German Luger.

Pistol, Single-shot

A pistol having no magazine and loaded with
only one cartridge at a time.

Rifle, Automatic

Any rifle having the capability of fullyautomatic fire but which is not a machine gun
or submachine gun. Examples: U.S. M16,

rifle.

Rifle, Bolt-action

Uses a turn-bolt mechanism to load, fire, and
extract/eject cartridges.

Rifle, Carbine

A short, lightweight shoulder weapon not
capable of fully automatic fire. Example: .30caliber U.S. M1 Carbine.

Rifle, Flintlock

A muzzle-loading rifle fired by the action of a
piece of flint held in the hammer jaws.

Rifle, Lever-action

Lever-action repeating rifles only. Does not
include single-shot weapons that use a lever.

Rifle, Percussion

Black-powder rifles fired by the hammer
striking a percussion cap as opposed to a
flintlock or modern metallic cartridge
ammunition.

Rifle, Pump-action

Also known as "slide" or "trombone." Action is
operated by a sliding pull-push fore-end
usually located beneath the barrel.

Rifle, Semiautomatic

Also known as autoloading or self-loading.
Often incorrectly referred to as an
"automatic." Fires only one shot with each
pull of the trigger. Examples: .30-caliber U.S.

imported combination guns designed for the
U.S. market are known as turkey guns.

Rocket Launcher

Examples: bazooka, light antitank weapon

Shotgun, Bolt-action

A shotgun using a turnbolt mechanism.

Shotgun, Double-Barrel

A shotgun having two barrels arranged side-byside.

Shotgun, Over and Under

A shotgun having barrels aligned one on top of
the other. Though technically a double-barrel,
the latter term is reserved for those having a
side-by-side configuration. If an over and
under weapon has one rifle barrel and one
shotgun barrel, it should be coded C (rifleshotgun combination).

Shotgun, Pump-action

Also known as "slide" and "trombone." Action
operated by a sliding pull-push fore-end,
usually located beneath the barrel.
Examples: Winchester Model 12, Remington
870, Ithaca Model 37.

Shotgun, Semiautomatic

Also known as autoloading or self-loading and
incorrectly as an "automatic." Fires only one
shot with each pull of the trigger. Examples:
Browning automatic shotgun, Remington
Model 1100.

Shotgun, Single-shot

A single barrel shotgun having no magazine
and loaded with only one cartridge at a time.

Submachine Gun or
Machine Pistol

Submachine guns normally use pistol-caliber
ammunition. Very often Europeanmanufactured submachine guns are referred
to as machine pistols in their country of origin,
even though they were not designed or used
as handguns. Examples: Uzi, HK MP5,
Mauser machine pistol, Thompson
submachine gun.
