\nhow to affix the projectiles.<\/p>\n
"The buyer knew that ordering live bullets from abroad is
\nforbidden. That's why the buyer only ordered empty bullet cases,
\nprojectiles, and detonators," he said.<\/p>\n
He also said that the empty bullet cases were high caliber,
\nwhich could be used for M-16 rifles, revolvers and FN-type guns.
