What ammo?

[smittyb]

I have limited combat experience but wasn’t issued any HP ammo. Ball ammunition is sufficient.

And never more than 15 rounds, right?

Yes. The M14s and M16s I was issued held more than 15 rounds.

OP asked about 9mm specifically.
Your reply did not mention any other caliber.

So OP should get a belt fed 9mm.
I can get behind that.
But should he still only use FMJs?

True. Just realize that there is a huge difference between being eventually fatal, and incapacitating the threat in short order. If I'm dead or dying, I don't care if the bad guy dies tomorrow or two hours from now.

Pretty sure the targets I mentioned are pretty incapacitating....even on a zombie.....or a Democrat.

This is as close as I can get to a belt fed 9mm

I like my Siaga 12. Easily portable, 10 round mags and a 13 rnd drum. Enough to clear a building and switch back to my rifle when outside.

After much thought, testing, research, introspection, destruction of items, including, dead tree products, metal products of multiple configurations and descriptions and some other items not to be mentioned here, I have concluded that if it isn't mission specific, and the firearm and operator of the noted firearm agree that the loading is liked, as well as sufficient for general purpose use of said arm, then that is all that is required. And the owner/operator of the aforementioned firearms should have sufficient quantity on hand to quell such incursions that may arise.




In other words, find what you and the gun like, and get ten metric shit tonne of it.

My answer to "what ammo" is not 9mm. Use what you got.

 

[Johnny Diamond]

And yes get a metric tonne.

I mostly use my own handloads, but I do keep a case of 147g HST and the mags are all loaded with that.

In the market for the best 9mm ammo? Here are our top picks for personal protection, target shooting and law enforcement.

Anyone asking what kind or God forbid how much, at this late date is a fool.


It's later than you think.

Better late than too late. Ammo is plentiful and readily available right now.

 

[deemus]

Expensive but available.

Saw it at Academy, Walmart, Cabela’s and Bass Pro in the past couple weeks.

 

[popsgarland]

I'm waiting for the 48 ZAP to hit the market.

I may be wrong but I believe ball ammo was a condition imposed by the Geneva Convention onto countries that agreed to it or were forced into participating in it. As I was told many years before the all knowing IntrawEb befell us, and I take this with a grain of salt but kind of, sort of, almost consider it factual: that was because HP ammunition was considered too dangerous for war - go figure. Supposedly HP ammo was more likely to kill than wound and if it wounded less than fatally it was expected it would maim much worse than ball ammo.
