E. German ammo
Howdy
This is what I was told by some people who came from various parts of europe.
The plastic core E. German ammo is Berlin Wall guard ammo. It will function a rifle, accurate to about 100 meters, will not bounce back at the shooter when it has penetrated, or missed an escapee.
They did not want there guards to fire and duck down or duck down and then fire blind to escape there own rounds bouncing back at them.
DANGER,,,,DANGER,,,, Some people think that this is "less than lethal" ammo. Not true. It is very lethal, within its limits.
I explain and show this type ammo to all the Firearms Safety classes we teach at our local gun club.
Hope this info helps.
