It's not the best wording to say that the pouch carried bullets, though I suppose it's not incorrect, strictly speaking. The pouch carried a single "clip," almost certainly for an M1 Garand rifle, the standard rifle US troops used in WWII. (It was also used by US troops in the Korean conflict, too.) An M1 clip held 4 cartridges. All firearms ammunition is cartridges of one type or another. Each cartridge is a metal casing--filled with gun powder--that also holds a bullet. The bullet is actually only the metal bit shot out of the gun barrel and causes the damage--i.e., the nasty bit.
To refer to the entire cartridge as the bullet is, technically, incorrect.
Just tell admirers that the pouch held "rifle ammo," or more specifically "an M1 clip," and you'll be golden. :)
Haha i love it! Elf chic

hullo Ms. Socks! fancy meeting you here... (hee hee!)
i love the coral-y orange with beige, khaki, olive drab - ah! it's an especially great look on blondes - brings out all those sunny, warm tones.
although one would think an elf would be too busy this time of year to post for a fashion blog...... ; )
