FWIW while guns are extremely regulated here in Japan, they aren't flat out illegal or "unobtainable". I'm no expert wrt bullets but I imagine if there's a way to procure a gun, people must be able to buy bullets too. From there, you just need a bit of smuggling around/blackmarket stuff.
- daneel_w 4y agoSome years ago in Denmark, at a European championships shooting sports event, I met a Japanese competitor who mentioned that they must return every single spent casing from their previous purchase of ammunition before being cleared for a new purchase. He underlined that it's causing a lot of trouble in certain shooting disciplines, with marksmen ending up manically searching for their empty casings at the range, and that even the Japanese military is subjected to regulations forcing them to leave not a single spent casing around. Unlike how it's done in every country here in Europe, they apparently regulate/count ammunition sales down to each individual cartridge.
