Notes
Benny remarks on the 9mm bullets he shot the Courier in the head with.[1]
Behind the scenes
Joshua Sawyer stated that the ammunition is based on 9x19mm Luger/Parabellum/NATO rounds.[Dev 1]
Bugs
Although +P rounds are available from most vendors, their scarcity from some vendors, particularly Gun Runners, is unintentional. Specifically, +P rounds are not included in a vendor list which contains all other non-standard types of bullet ammunition.[verified]
