See DealAbout The .8mm Nambu Ammo is a bottlenecked, semi-rimmed cartridge created for handguns that was introduced in Imperial Japan in 1904. The .8mm Nambu Ammo was used in Type 100 submachine gun and Nambu Pistol. This cartridge was used in the Pacific and Second Sino-Japanese War. The .8mm Nambu Ammo was created with the Nambu Pistols so that the Japanese would have fallen behind other major countries that were developing stronger and better guns at a faster rate. The .8mm Nambu Ammo
...
delivers a muzzle energy level that is half of the 9x19 Parabellum Ammo and less than the 7.62x25mm Tokarev Ammo, which was the core reason it was regarded as a cartridge with low stopping power. However, the .8mm Nambu Ammo can still create enough stopping power that it's comparable to the .380 ACP Ammo. The overall length of the .8mm Nambu Ammo is 31.56mm, and the bullet diameter measures 8.13mm. The 102-grain bullet variant of the .8mm Nambu Ammo can travel at a velocity of 1,030 feet per second while creating an energy level of 242 ft.lbf.
Manufacturer
The .8mm Nambu Ammo was designed and manufactured in 1904 by Kijiro Nambu in Japan.
Uses
