One book I was reading - twice - the past few years was MARINE regarding General L. B. Puller.
In that book, within chapters covering combat on Gualdalcanal, is mention of wood bullets.
The book indicates that the wood bullets were used by the Japanese agaiinst the US front lines, with a purpose to reduce injury to Japanese soldiers that infiltrated US forces.
Are any of you familiar with this?
Do any samples survive in collections?
Would wood tipped ammunition still have a purpose now?
Thanks.
