Sellier & Bellot 9mm ammunition
9x19mm Parabellum is a type of ammunition appearing in the Fallout TV series.
Background[]
Before the Great War, 9mm was the preferred type of ammunition for small weapons in the American Southwest, while the military and the eastern and western seaboards tended to favor the more powerful 10mm ammunition. 9mm is also lightweight and easy to find.[1] One downside to 9mm was its infamous inferior lethality and has kept that reputation even after the Great War.[2]
Brands[]
Known brands of 9mm ammunition still found after the Great War include Sellier & Bellot, found in the Vault 33 armory, as seen in the episode "The End".
Behind the scenes[]
The 9mm ammo box seen in "The End" is a real-world product by Czech company Sellier & Bellot.[3]
