tacfoley, thats certainly interesting. I'm glad I didnt purchase more of this ammo. Also, the S&B goes for about $8/box at gunshows, the nato spec is $10. If you actually had an ammo related failure and then witnessed one, I'll take your word for it.
Ron, I believe the SEALs were breaking the Berettas because they were shooting them underwater.
Thank you all for your responses!
