The 11mm French Ordnance is a rimmed black powder cartridge intended for the 11 mm MAS 1873-1874 revolver in service with the French Army.[1] The velocity and power of the first variant, equivalent to the .25 ACP, was weak for its time. The second variant, 1873–90, corresponded in power to the .32 ACP.[citation needed]
