What type of ammunition should you use in your firearm?

Any as long as it fits
Only the type specified by the gun manufacturer
The cheapest available
The same type your friend uses in their similar firearm

The correct answer is: Only the type specified by the gun manufacturer

It is important to use only the type of ammunition specified by the gun manufacturer to ensure the safety of both the shooter and the gun. Different firearms are designed to handle different types of ammunition and using the wrong type can lead to malfunctions and potentially dangerous situations. Option A is incorrect because while the ammunition may fit, it may not be appropriate for the specific firearm. Option C is incorrect because choosing the cheapest ammunition can also compromise safety and effectiveness. Option D is incorrect because even if your friend has a similar firearm, it is important to follow the manufacturer's specifications for your own firearm.
