Re the screwed up ammunition for enemy rounds. A favorite was the round that was jsut a primer and no powder to block the barrel so the SKS or AK that used it was useless in a real firefight after that round had been used up. another trick was with fully loaded magazines have some C4 rigged to detonate after the tenth or twelveth round. The NVA and Cadre would often strip off a round, two or three yto verify a magazine was not booby trapped.

I know a guy who keeps the first round of his bedside a primer only round just in case someone else gets to it. Not smart for him, great for screwing up bad guys in war.

That's gotta be bad for morale, to wonder if you're using ammo with C-4 in it.
