i recently purchased a bunch of old military equipment at a garage sale. i want to know how i can correctly identify what the various pieces of small and large arms ammunition are. they are in decent enough condition as to be able to real most/all of the numbers on the butts. they appear to be from ww1-ww2, possibly USA / German / Japanese , ranging from large rifle rounds to a ‘drill cartridge’ tank rounds (identified).

what the heck do all the little numbers on the bottom mean?

The numbers on the bottom are LOT numbers. They are used to tell were the ammo came from and when it was made. However you will need a master list to find out that info, witch you will never find. They could also be the caliber if you post some of the info on the ammo I might be abile to help you out, feeel free to email me.
