CBJ-FM
CBJ-FM is a French-language Canadian radio station located in Chicoutimi, Quebec.
Owned and operated by the (government-owned) Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (French : Société Radio-Canada), it broadcasts on 93.7 MHz with an effective radiated power of 50,000 watts (class B) using an omnidirectional antenna.
The station has an ad-free news/talk format and is part of the Ici Radio-Canada Première network, which operates across Canada.
The station originated in 1933 as CRCS, owned and operated by the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission and based in Chicoutimi (which became part of Saguenay in 2002). It became CBJ when the CRBC became the CBC. Originally located on the AM band on 1580 kHz, the station moved to FM in 1999. The AM signal was a 50,000-watt clear channel station from 1977 onward, and was well known as an extremely reliable DX signal at night. It was often used by people who wanted to receive Première Chaîne when they were travelling just about anywhere in the eastern half of North America. The frequency has been reactivated, CKDO, Oshawa (10,000 watts)
6.5×25mm CBJ
The 6.5×25mm CBJ is a pistol cartridge designed for the CBJ-MS personal defence weapon. Capable of use in rebarreled 9×19mm Parabellum firearms, the primary loading of the round fires a sabotted 4 mm tungsten sub-projectile.
The 6.5×25mm CBJ has the same functional dimensions as the 9×19 Parabellum and was designed to produce the same recoil and pressures to allow most 9mm weapons to be converted to 6.5×25mm CBJ with a simple barrel change.
Because the 6.5×25mm CBJ has the same overall dimensions as the 9×19 Parabellum, it can be used in 9 mm magazines. The standard ball round fires a saboted tungsten 2 g (31 gr) 4.0 mm diameter sub-projectile, weighing 2.5 g (39 gr) with the sabot. It has a muzzle velocity of 730 m/s (2,400 ft/s) from a 120 mm (4.7 in) barrel with a muzzle energy of 533 J (393 ft·lb). From a 300 mm (12 in) barrel, it has a muzzle velocity of 900 m/s (3,000 ft/s) with a muzzle energy of 810 J (600 ft·lb), and has good armor penetration out to 400 meters. The standard saboted tungsten ball round can pierce 9 mm of armor plate and leave a 6 mm diameter entry hole when fired from a 300 mm length barrel. By comparison, 5.56 NATO and 7.62 NATO rounds cause little or no penetration to armor of that thickness. From a 300 mm barrel, the tungsten saboted round has the same trajectory as a 5.56 NATO from an M4 carbine and a velocity of 578 m/s (1,900 ft/s) at 300 m (328 yd), which will penetrate CRISAT armor. 6.5×25mm CBJ rounds are faster and heavier than both 5.7×28mm and 4.6×30mm.
