At one time there was a shortage of .45 ammo in the US Army. We'd stopped making it at our military
ammo sites, and we were struggling with getting the 9mm Beretta fielded. So, we bought bullets by the shipload from the Isrealis who have always been partial to the .45 for a number of reasons as opposed to 9mm. I remember those bullets well -- they were incredibly hot, hot, HOT loads that belched flame out of the damn gun. I know a lot of older .45s had odd ball accidents because they couldn't handle the pressure that round would generate. I kinda liked it, but I normally qualified with my own Colt.
So the news that Isreali X is flooding Australia is just kind of weird. Somehow, Isreali and drug lords are not phrases I'd normally put together. Or, for that matter, Hasid and Hendrix And, if their recreational pharmaceuticals are anything like their bullets, be prepared to find the Quantas Koalas sucking pacifiers and bouncing around to Pfish and Kraftwerk...
