Benefits of technology

[0012]In accordance with the present invention, at least one of the one or more barbs extends in axial alignment to a longitudinal axis of the cap to prevent removal of the cap from the first end of the tubular casing.
[0013]In one embodiment, at least one of one or more barbs extends orthogonally to a longitudinal axis of the cap to prevent rotation of the cap relative to the first end of the tubular casing.

Problems solved by technology

While polymeric ammunition has been known in the art, their configurations remain non-desirous and / or problematic inasmuch as, among other things, none of the commonly known ammunition appears to be functionally utilizable along a broad spectrum of civilian and / or military applications—among other things.
