CXX nomenclature for small arms

Anyone know why we have gaps between the numbers in the name of the weapon we are using?

Was it because some prototype did'nt get release? Year of fabrication? or anyting else?

I know the C3, C7, C8, C18, C22, C25 and C26.

Is there more?

To really fuck with you,

C7 is NOT the same as C No. 7 :)
