Modern Ammo

As far as modern ammunition being "possibly too pwerful," the general belief is that original German 9mm. ammo packed a greater punch than our commercial stuff. After WWII when everyone was clamoring for 9mm. ammo for their bring-back pistols, there was a general belief that these guns were made with slave labor and were frequently sabotaged with dangerous parts. The ammo companies, fearing lawsuits, loaded our ammo to perform less powerfully.
