'''.45 ACP''' (also referred to as '''.45 Auto''', more rarely '''11.43x23mm''') is a pistol cartridge designed by John Moses Browning in 1904. As one of the most iconic pistol cartridges in the world, often compared to [[9x19mm Parabellum]], a large amount of firearms have been chambered for this cartridge. .45 ACP was originally designed for a prototype semi-automatic pistol also designed by John Browning and produced by Colt, which was later adopted in the year 1911 by the United States Army as the ''M1911''.

The '''.45 ACP''' (more rarely, '''11.43x23mm''') is a popular handgun cartridge developed in 1904 by John Moses Browning. It is a somewhat common caliber used in handguns and submachine guns.

=== Real-life data ===
+
-
Since the late 1890s to the early 20th Century, the US Cavalry was field-testing several handguns; the [[Colt Single Action Army]] had long been replaced by double-action versions of the same weapon. Most notably, the cavalry fielded '''.38 Long Colt''' double-action revolvers, although they determined that they were much less effective than '''.45 Colt''' against determined and/or fearless opponents, as proved during the Philippine-American War and the Moro Rebellion. During the latter conflict, the '''.30-40 Krag'''-caliber rifles failed to stop the Moro warriors effectively.
+
-
 
+
-
This experience, and tests conducted by Thompson-LaGarde in 1904, led the US Army and Cavalry to decide that a minimum of .45 caliber was required in the new handgun. At that point, John Browning was working with Colt on a '''.41 caliber''' (10 mm) cartridge; the US Army requested a .45 caliber variant of this cartridge. The end results were the '''Colt model 1905''' handgun and the '''.45 Automatic Colt Pistol''', aka .45 ACP.
+
-
By 1906, six makers bid on the production of the cartridge and submitted their designs for an evaluation round, but only three of them made the cut: DWM, Savage Arms and Colt. Five years later, a second evaluation round was held, and this time Savage's design suffered 37 stoppages and failures, leaving only Colt's design, which passed without any problems. This design would go on to become the famous [[Colt M1911A1|Model 1911]] pistol.
+
The cartridge was originally designed to replicate [[.45 Colt]] performance in a semi-automatic pistol. It continues seeing service even over a hundred years after its inception, starting with the US military, where the '''Colt M1911A1''' pistol, an improved version of the original M1911, was issued as the service handgun for over sixty years (1924-1985), until it was phased out in favor of a [[9x19mm Parabellum|9x19mm]] pistol, the '''Beretta M9'''.
-
Although the cartridge was developed by John Browning of Colt, it is '''John Thompson''', of Auto Ordnance who was the most influential to the US Army in the choice of this caliber. Thompson would later design for the same caliber the ever-so-popular [[colt m1921 thompson|Thompson Submachine gun]], well-known by its nickname, the '''Tommy Gun'''.
+
.45 ACP firearms were also adopted by numerous law enforcement agencies, and civilian shooters, particularly in the United States, as well as other military forces in the world. Even to this day, .45 ACP is still popular, and a variety of modern firearms are still being designed and produced in .45 ACP. The cartridge also provided the basis for a "Magnum" version, of sorts: [[.460 Rowland]], which features a slightly longer case but otherwise similar dimensions.

A somewhat common caliber in Mazeworld, the '''.45 ACP''' caliber is used in a fair amount of weapons of the game. As a slow, but large bullet, .45 ACP is popularly known as a more powerful alternative to [[9x19mm Parabellum]] but (usually) without the advantage of high-capacity 9x19mm has. Many debates have sparked even in the Mazes about which of the two calibers is the better one, fruitlessly.

.45 ACP (also referred to as .45 Auto, more rarely 11.43x23mm) is a pistol cartridge designed by John Moses Browning in 1904. As one of the most iconic pistol cartridges in the world, often compared to 9x19mm Parabellum, a large amount of firearms have been chambered for this cartridge. .45 ACP was originally designed for a prototype semi-automatic pistol also designed by John Browning and produced by Colt, which was later adopted in the year 1911 by the United States Army as the M1911.

The cartridge was originally designed to replicate .45 Colt performance in a semi-automatic pistol. It continues seeing service even over a hundred years after its inception, starting with the US military, where the Colt M1911A1 pistol, an improved version of the original M1911, was issued as the service handgun for over sixty years (1924-1985), until it was phased out in favor of a 9x19mm pistol, the Beretta M9.

.45 ACP firearms were also adopted by numerous law enforcement agencies, and civilian shooters, particularly in the United States, as well as other military forces in the world. Even to this day, .45 ACP is still popular, and a variety of modern firearms are still being designed and produced in .45 ACP. The cartridge also provided the basis for a "Magnum" version, of sorts: .460 Rowland, which features a slightly longer case but otherwise similar dimensions.
