A: "Full Metal Jacket" refers to the thick copper covering, or jacket, over the lead core of the projectile. FMJ ammo normally has an exposed lead base, where the lead was inserted. This base is inside the cartridge case and is not visible unless a fired (or pulled) bullet is being inspected. An advantage of the jacketed bullet design is that it allows bullets to be fired at high velocity without disintegrating. It also reduces fouling in the barrel. Jacketed hollow point (JHP) ammunition has the same benefits, but also provides expansion in soft tissue, and reduces overall penetration. In some cases, JHP ammo may be more accurate than FMJ ammo.

A: Many common handguns fire 9mm ammo. This type of ammo is referred to as 9mm, 9mm Luger, 9mm Parabellum, 9mm NATO or 9x19mm. It is not to be confused with 9mm Short/9x17mm/9mm Browning, which is also known as .380 Auto. Both calibers are available with brass and steel cases. Brass cases are reloadable and have a higher residual value, while steel cases are generally cheaper to buy, but cannot be reloaded (reused by a shooter with the proper equipment to reload a bullet, gunpowder, and primer into a fired case).

A: Unlike food items, ammo has no set shelf life. If stored properly, it should last for many years.

A: JHP (jacketed hollow point) bullets have an opening at the front of the bullet that promotes accuracy and expansion in soft tissue or other fluid mediums. Full metal jacket (FMJ) bullets feature a copper jacket over the entire front and sides of the bullet, and are designed with economical manufacture in mind. JHP bullets are a little more complicated to make than FMJ, and are suitable for more purposes than FMJ, which is essentially limited to range use.
