   Interesting.  This got me wondering whether your acquaintances are used   
   to dealing with the full metal jacketed bullets in use by most   
   militaries in WW2 and since.  Which in turn got me wondering whether   
   they were in use in the Spanish Civil War, or if dum-dum bullets were   
   still being used despite their being outlawed.   
      
   Any idea?  I don't even know where I'd begin to research this.
