What is this 9mm?

I got it in a trade or something years ago. I ahven't been brave enough to put it in a gunn and fire it though. I tried to pull one of the bullets, but this happened:

I am going shooting tomorrow and I was thinking of putting it through a gun if I get a reply before tomorrow morning. Then again, I can just keep it on the shelf right where it has been sitting for another year before I do anything about it.

Is the bullet plastic? I have seen 9mm that looked exactly like that on a website with sectioned ammo. If the bullet is plastic or possibly thin steel jacket with plastic core it is a training ammo. Its been a long time since I read about it so I forgot the exact construction. From what I read about it a while back was it required a different barrel to shoot it. I would not shoot it and just keep it for the novelty. Thats less than a magazine unless you live in a restricted state, and IIRC accuracy was no good.

Hope it helps

Sorry Airhasz, I'm pretty sure that is Swedish 9mm KPtr m/39. It was used for short-range indoor training with the kpist m/45B (perhaps more famously known as the "Swedish K") back in the day. This cartridge was meant to be fired through the blank firing barrel without the "shredder" on the end (the Swedish K did not have a normal blank firing device but a separate barrel, with an undersized bore, to which a separate shredder was fitted.) See pic below.

KPtr stands for "Kammarpatron" which translates to Chamber Cartridge. There were KPtr available for the 6.5x55 Swede as well.

I thought is was sweedish, but I could not remember. I saw it many moons ago on a website with sectioned bullets. Do you know what the construction of the bullet is? I can not find the website.

Thanks for the link. I thought it was plastic, but I was not sure how it worked.
