Before I understood the headline I was about to comment "Isn't almost every ammunition lethal?"

A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
1. Be nice
Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.
2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes
If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.
3. Content must be relevant
Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.
4. No racism / hatespeech
No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.
5. No politics
We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.
6. No seriousposting
We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.
7. No classified material
Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.
8. Source artwork
If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.
9. No low-effort posts
No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.
10. Don't get us banned
No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
11. No misinformation
NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.

All except verbal ammunition. That only hurts on the inside
Words are like bullets
I need more boolets
It can be lethal to a friendship
I pretty much never say this, but good job North Korea!
You know how some people browse others comments during an argument....this one is totally going to be weaponized by someone who you get into a discussion with...
I haven't really run into that on Lemmy so far, but yeah, probably.
Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un is a Ukranian war hero, personally by his grace taking out several Russian tanks due to ~~shitty~~ ingenious North Korean manufacturing.
I suspect the headlines over there would be something like: "Glorious Democratic Best Korean ammunition accelerates peace between Ukraine and Russia by killing both sides without spilling korean people's blood."
This is not real! That woman looks healthy and well-fed. Checkmate, southern propagandists!
This must be one of those newfangled bullpup tanks
So Kim is a fella? Nice.
It's also his last name. They put the last name first. Like wha?
All of Japan does the same.
Kim is the last name not Jung Un
Jung Un is his rapper name
Lil Jong
also it's not a tank. it's 152mm self-propelled howitzer 2S3 Akatsiya. driver had leg torn off by a barrel fragment, this could be just a propellant charge, without HE shell detonating
DONG WHERE IS MY AUTOMOBILE
i'd only add it's not clear what ammo was used there, or what is quality of NK shells in general. some of that NK ammo could be from soviet era, some of that could be new, maybe Kim is just clearing storage and treating russia like some third-rate insurgency that they don't care about, like they deserve. there were some complaints about high dud rate of NK ammo, but this is solved by replacing fuzes
there's so much of weird shit appearing in western supply as well. chinese 82mm mortars? you got it (from early cold war albanian stocks). japanese 60mm mortars from korean war era? you bet (from american stocks). major difference being that western storage is supposed to have some kind of quality control, meaning that some faulty or soon-to-be-faulty weapons will be - should be destroyed. in contrast russian army is just a hoarder
