Bullets Split in half
Photo 1 –
1. Some flavor of 5.56×45 loaded with a steel projectile in a copper half-jacket to protect the bore
2. 5.56mm XM216 SPIW Flechette
3. 7.62/.220 Salvo Squeezebore

1. 9x19mm – looks much like a British 9mm MkIIz
2. 9x19mm – solid brass hollow point – unsure of maker
3. 9x19mm – either a tracer or possibly an explosive projectile. Not sure what that filler is

1. 9x19mm Cobra “High Safety Ammunition” – steel darts inside a polymer sabot
2. 9x19mm Israeli riot control – steel balls embedded in amber resin
Photo 4 –
1. 7.62x51mm Plastic short-range training tracer
2. This one is curious – it looks like a 7.62x51mm but the interior looks like a ‘sabotage’ cartridge as it appears to be loaded with a blasting cap and a small amount of explosive.
3. 6.5x55mm wood bullet blank (guessing at the cartridge on that one, it looks right!)

1. .450 Adams – the case appears too short and the bullet is too short, the cavity too shallow and it doesn’t have enough grease grooves to be a .455 MkII.
2. .38 Speer Target

1. .38 Special Glaser
2. .224 BOZ
Credit for the guesses as to bullet type goes here.

Love this quote
US standard of living
On several occasions, I have glibly referred to how it now takes two spouses working to equal the wages of a one-income family of 40 years ago. Unfortunately, that is now an understatement. In fact, Western wages have plummeted so low that a two-income family is now (on average) 15% poorer than a one-income family of 40 years ago.
Trust
Here’s a gal displaying quite a bit of trust:

Going to start posting anything and everything I find interesting. I don’t think anyone reads this anyway, but if you do, I hope you find this stuff interesting!
