If I understand the statement (ammo manufactured in 1918 would function the same as ammo manufactured today) I would have to say yes, that is correct. Amazingly, a 9mm cartridge made today would function essentially the same as one manufactured in 1918. As far as little or no improvements, well, the only variable in the cartridge would be the propellant and that has seen better quality control but primarily the same ingredients. I would think that today's powders burn more efficiently but as far as cycling the action there would be little or no noticeable difference.
