Could’ve been worse. He could’ve had his shit pushed back to 1776.
Fucking pattern recognition…
After a brief search, indeed, there are not many English sources for this ammo type. I have only found this: https://forum.cartridgecollectors.org/t/iskra-7-62x39mm-5-45x39mm-and-9x18mm-sabotage-cartridges/52606/4
From Russian sources - this ammo was used to clog the barrels of guns. Was produced in 9mm Makarov, 5.45x39 & 7.62(pictures in reverse order.) This ammunition wasn’t any different from regular, including weight and markings.
These would defragment/split into pieces inside the barrel, thus rendering the gun sabotaged. These would be issued to Afghanistan soldiers, who would intentionally “lose” several boxes on the battlefield, and if the enemy picked and used the rounds, their guns would be sabotaged.
If we exclude Newton’s 3rd law, this will be way more effective against arrows, and demoralizing the enemy.

Probably. The same thing works for bears - bears who ate mostly berries have meat, which tastes slightly sweet. This works, I believe, for red meat: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2286578/
Probably feeding a ton of fish to a pig from early life will make the taste more fishy.
If Sisyphus wants destruction, then I think diverting it is the best. Even though the ship has no original parts, it is still a ship, even if it is a model of the original ship.
That looks like this:
