Sweets will absolutely knock you over if you get a good whiff of it. But to answer the OP's question, they put ammonia in there because it's a copper solvent.
My "when things go bump in the night" go-to gun is a Winchester 1300 Defender, 12 gauge pump action shotgun loaded with low-recoil Federal LE Flitecontrol 00 buckshot.
Keep it somewhere dry and cool and it will last many, many decades. I have hundreds of rounds of surplus Czech ammo made in 1962 and it all works perfectly.
There were indeed Czech weapons in Vietnam. The ComBloc countries had their own form of "foreign aid" and provided weapons, etc, to Third World countries.
As noted, the VC used just about anything they could get their hands on. Apparently a lot of weapons captured from the Axis during WWII...
The mild steel used in the jacket material is not much harder than copper. Steel jacketing is common in European ammunition, and not just dodgy milsurp stuff either. If a target is rated for FMJ in the caliber you are firing, then you are fine. The mild steel jacket is more about economics...
And that's just the thing, focusing on the implement rather than actor will only guarantee that law-abiding people pay the price and the criminals continue to be, well, criminals. As we all know, the motivation of a deranged person is not restrained by law nor a lack of one particular tool...
I agree with those who say there's some pieces missing from this puzzle. If someone were sending rounds onto my property unintentionally I would talk to them about it exactly once. If that resulted in an unsatisfactory result or repeat performance, the police get to deal with it.
It sounds like...
A few years ago a student in Japan killed several people with a knife. It can happen with any implement and in any society, there is no way legislation can prevent it.
Regarding the stickers, part of me wants to put one in the rear window to show that 2nd Amendment defenders are out there and they're not even remotely like the media stereotype, but on the other hand is it an invitation for someone to break into your car, or vandalize it?
Toss up. For casual shooting there's something I like better about the SKS, but for anything resembling a "combat" situation I would take an AK no ifs, ands, or buts.
+P refers to higher peak pressure. IIRC in 9mm, +P is anything from 35,000 psi to 38,000 psi. Anything above that is +P+.
The velocity of the bullet is not taken into account in defining +P.
Fortunately I've not been in a situation where that was necessary, but then again I've pretty much quit going to public ranges because of all the evidence of incompetence/negligence. Bullet holes in the ceiling, target holders, marks on the floor and walls. Scary!
You might have inadvertently stumbled upon a shooting gallery. If he had marks from pumping smack into his arm he was almost certainly sizing you up for any cash or valuable he could get -- expensive habit and all that.
I was going to post a new thread about this very thing. I was pleasantly surprised. I think (hope) public consciousness about erroneous and hyperbolic portrayal of firearms is increasing, well not just firearms but about virtually everything.
