GUN DATA CODES

SECTION 1--MAKE (MAK) FIELD CODES

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,

.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.

ZZZ 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.

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 cartridge-

type 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 12-

gauge's bore diameter is not .12 caliber; nor is it 12 millimeters. The exception is the 410-

gauge; 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 A Example: U.S. 105 mm howitzer.

Grenade launcher GN Examples: U.S. M79, U.S. M203 grenade

launchers.

Machine gun MA 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 ON 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 PB Example: Remington Model XP 100.

Pistol, Derringer PD Small handgun that may be single-shot (one

barrel) or two shot (double-barreled).

Pistol, Flintlock PH A muzzle-loading handgun fired by the action

of a piece of flint held in the hammer jaws.

Pistol, Jet-propelled PJ Example: 13 mm Gyrojet handgun

manufactured by MB Associates.

Pistol, Percussion PU Black-powder handgun fired by the hammer

striking a percussion cap as opposed to a

flintlock or modern metallic cartridge

ammunition.

Pistol, Revolver PR Uses a cylinder to retain the cartridges in the

weapon.

Pistol, Semiautomatic PI 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 PS A pistol having no magazine and loaded with

only one cartridge at a time.

Rifle, Automatic RA Any rifle having the capability of fully-

automatic fire but which is not a machine gun

or submachine gun. Examples: U.S. M16,

Soviet SKS, AK-47 assault rifles, U.S. M14

rifle.

Rifle, Bolt-action RB Uses a turn-bolt mechanism to load, fire, and

extract/eject cartridges.

Rifle, Carbine RC A short, lightweight shoulder weapon not

capable of fully automatic fire. Example: .30-

caliber U.S. M1 Carbine.

Rifle, Flintlock RH A muzzle-loading rifle fired by the action of a

piece of flint held in the hammer jaws.

Rifle, Lever-action RL Lever-action repeating rifles only. Does not

include single-shot weapons that use a lever.

Rifle, Percussion RU Black-powder rifles fired by the hammer

striking a percussion cap as opposed to a

flintlock or modern metallic cartridge

ammunition.

Rifle, Pump-action RP Also known as "slide" or "trombone." Action is

operated by a sliding pull-push fore-end

usually located beneath the barrel.

Rifle, Semiautomatic RI 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.

M1 Rifle, Ruger .44-caliber carbine.

Rifle, Single-shot RS A rifle other than bolt-action having no

magazine and loaded with only one cartridge

at a time. Examples: Ruger No. 1 Rifle,

Winchester High Wall.

Rifle-Shotgun Combination C Refers to a shoulder-fired weapon that

combines both rifle and shotgun barrels in one

firearm. One of the better known is the

Drilling, a side-by-side shotgun with an

attached rifle barrel located below and

between the two shotgun barrels. Many

imported combination guns designed for the

U.S. market are known as turkey guns.

Rocket Launcher KN Examples: bazooka, light antitank weapon

Shotgun, Bolt-action SB A shotgun using a turnbolt mechanism.

Shotgun, Double-Barrel SE A shotgun having two barrels arranged side-by-

side.

Shotgun, Over and Under SO 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 (rifle-

shotgun combination).

Shotgun, Pump-action SP 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 SI 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 SS A single barrel shotgun having no magazine

and loaded with only one cartridge at a time.

Submachine Gun or

Machine Pistol B Submachine guns normally use pistol-caliber

ammunition. Very often European-

manufactured 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.
