Characteristics
Manufactured by G|Circle G Ammunition, .38 rounds are ammunition reserved for recreational shooting. They were originally designed for double action revolvers pre-war, but after the Great War, the ammunition's abundance (especially when compared to other ammo types) made it a good choice for improvised weaponry. They were originally sold in boxes of 50 cartridges.
