Tired of using that clumsy wooden stake and mallet, and having to struggle with the undead curmudgeons at close range ?
Weary of a crossbow that fires a wooden bolt, but then annoyingly has to be reset after one shot while being harassed by multiple bloodsuckers at the same time? Well this is for you. Break out that FAL, AR10 or HK91 and get ready to do some serious long range Dracula devastation. 7.62X51mm NATO Full Wood Bullet 
OK, but seriously, what else would you do with this stuff? |

The description at the link says that it is training/practice ammo...so does it even have powder and primer in it? If it did, i wonder what the penetration and FPS would be... |

I beleive those are just blanks. I would not trust the sellers description since they don't even know they are Israeli. Probably corrosive primed too, judging by the early 1970's date on the boxes. These are designed to be shredded by a special BFA. Firing without one would yield crap accuracy as the projectile is hollow and very light, never intended to be a projectile..

And only $.45 a round. I remember the plastic 7.62 NATO ammo was like a dime a round or so.

Not really. BFAs for wood bulleted blanks are external to the barrel and have openings for the shreds to be expelled...

Not likely. The wood bullet is to facilitate feeding, not to create back pressure to cycle an action. Thus the need for a BFA to create the back pressure and shred the wood bullet.

I fired a bunch of these out of my M1A about 10 years ago. They don't cycle the bolt. Was too busy to clean my rifle after and didn't even think about them being corrosive. A couple months later I went to shoot it again and the barrel was so corroded I had to scrub the shit out of it with a stainless brush. The rifling on my M1a was no longer sharp & shiny Was so pissed I threw the rest of them away. So they're most definitely corrosive.

Corrosive wood cartridges for $0.50 a round that won't cycle the action. I guess you can't much worse value than that.
I guess if you need to kill vampires, you can just use a sharpened wooden dowel down the bore with a blank cartridge in the chamber. |

They also had several full cases for a much better price, works out to be 15 cents a round shipped. |

Good stuff. I have a ton of these and use them when camping. It's great fun to have a case of these and not having to leave your camp chair or your spot to feed the fire. Just keep your rifle close and when the fire starts to go down and your drinking buddies are falling to sleep, MAG DUMP!

I don't know about these particular bullets, but wood bullets have been used for less lethal crowd control before.

These are blanks. Wooden riot control "baton" projectiles are very different.
