I was at a gun show last week and bought some items from an oldler fellow.
He had this box of ammo which he said was "Special Sniper Ammo" because it was S.m.K. ammo and even had a page printed out of Senich's Sniper book to support his theory.
I was wary about the sniper story, but I did recognize that L'spur gelb (meant yellow tracer), which also turned me off the idea of it being sniper ammo (Why give away your position?). I decided to buy the ammo anyhow.
Once home I did some more research and did figure out that it was yellow tracer/armour piercing ammo. Not a bad buy at the end of the day, even if it wasn't "Special Sniper Ammo".
Is it true that only snipers and MG's used S.m.K. ammo?
