Direct
"Officer smith- What type of bullets did the defendant have in his gun?"
"Federal .45 caliber JHP".
"And are those bullets more or less lethal than the average bullet?"
"They are specifically designed to cause MORE damage to the victim."
"thank you."
Cross-
"Officer Smith- Do you carry a firearm in the course of your employment?"
"Yes"
"what type of bullet is in it right now?"
"Federal .45 caliber JHP."
"No further questions."

I'm NOT a lawyer - don't have the brains to be one.
I'm curious though...
isn't there a thing called "re-direct", and depending on the views of the officer, would the re-direct be something like...
"Officer Smith - is the defendant a law enforcement officer?"
"no, counselor, he is not."
"Officer Smith - does he have a need for the same equipment as an LEO?"
"no, counselor, it is not his job.:"
"No further questions."
I'm using factory for the reason you state, but the arguments for it have always intrigued me. it seems like if they are talking about your ammo, and your lawyer has already laid waste to that discussion, you probably have already lost... again, depending on the officer and the DA.
