FYI, that ammo is marked HP-91,92, or 93- L7A1 - and the NATO acceptance stamp.

We also had a load specific for submachine guns. They had 124 gr bullets, don't know what velocities they achieved, but I know that using them in our service P.38s was a sure way to end up cracking the locking block on them.
And the Beretta 92 is a P.38 in disguise.
