Well those .303 bullets will cause a nasty welt to be sure...

Not sure if that is a .303, looks more like an Arisaka round commonly used by Japan or similar to a Russian made round.

JOD.

They are .303 rounds 100%.

The Japanese Navy did use 7.7mm Rimmed (.303) and their armed forces also used 7.7mm Rimless, 7.7mm Semi Rimmed.

The "Arisaka" round was 6.5mm.

(collecting INERT small arms ammunition, is my other hobby )

WW1 .303 rounds for the SMLE Mk III had rounded heads - 'pointed' boat-tail rounds came later with the No.4 Rifle.

It's the shape of the 5-rd clip that's the give-away: I fired these when I was in the Army Cadets at school.
