Last I checked, for something to be ammo, you needed a minimum of "cap, powder and ball." There's no cap (primer) and no powder in punk belts, so no ammo. Also, Massachusetts specifically requires it to be "designed for use in any firearm," which this is not, as the primer hole has been drilled out and the neck destructively crimped.
