AMMUNITION TO BE USED
E
TO KEEP THIS CARBINE FUNCTIONING PRO-
PERLY, it is necessary to use ammunition
with a speed higher than 400 MPS (1300
FPS).
This allows the bolt to recoil with an ade-
quate speed, necessary to eject the em-
pty case and insert the new one.
The use of cartridges with lower speed
than that advised by F.lli Pietta, will cause
irratic operation of the carbine, including
continuous jamming of the same at every
shot.
F.lli Pietta shall not be responsible for phy-
sical injury, death or damage to property
resulting from the use of defective, unsui-
table, hand loaded, reloaded or restored
ammunition. Serious damage and injury,
even death, can be caused by the use of
incorrect ammunition or with forced load,
or by barrel obstruction. The use of relo-
aded or restored ammunition can easily
cause excessive pressures and cause the
rupturing of the cartridge base or other
defects in the ammunition which could
damage the weapon and cause injury to
you and to the people close to you.
The F.lli Pietta semiautomatic PPS is chambe-
red for .22 LR cartridges. The caliber is mar-
ked on the side of the barrel of each carbine.
Each fi rearm is sumitted to the National Proof
House for testing and compliance.
CAUTION:
Never use ammunition which your gun is
not chambered to shoot.
Use only appropriate factory new ammu-
nition that is manufactured in accordan-
ce with CIP (European) or SAAMI (U.S.A.)
Standards.
CAUTION:
Always use cartridges of the proper length
for your fi rearm. Caliber is marked on the
side of the barrel. Be sure that every car-
tridge you use be of the correct type and
caliber for the fi rearm you are using.
CAUTION:
REMEMBER, SAFETY IS YOUR RESPONSIBILI-
TY. BE A SAFE SHOOTER AND USE COMMON
SENSE AT ALL TIMES.
To avoid using improper ammunition al-
ways refer to the specifi cations printed on
the cartridge container or marked on the
cartridge itself. Be sure to use the correct
cartridge length and cartridge caliber sui-
table for your fi rearm.
CAUTION:
