The 102-grain bullet variant of the .8mm Nambu Ammo can travel at a velocity of 1,030 feet per second while creating an energy level of 242 ft.lbf. Manufacturer The .8mm Nambu Ammo was designed and manufactured in 1904 by Kijiro Nambu in Japan. Uses The .8mm Nambu Ammo has been mainly used in Nambu pistols in Russo-Japanese, Sino-Japanese, and Pacific Wars.
