I have no doubt such a round would be devestating to a human. I just thought they where too difficult for the army to produce.

Saw the same show. Pretty impressive.

Remember the ORIGINAL 5.56 M-16 round was supposed to flatten an tumble like a buzz saw. You could shoot a guy in the chest and it could bounce around in there and come out his leg, homogenizing everything in between. Now the rounds are like sticking an icepick into the guy.

The Rangers in Somalia (back in '93) complained bitterly about that.

i saw videos of these things against steel and hunks of meat.... scary.... ya know, if war was supposed to be humane...... NOBODY WOULD DIE!!! war is supposed to kill people, why do they want us to just wound people and make them bleed out before they die, and also risk our guys being killed by wounded bad guys, but we cant just use an effective weapon to keep our guys safe... they make no sense.....

Screw the convention lets use them hollowpoints Right NOW!!!!! And some blendmetal. Heck why not create a chainsaw-bayonet attachment to our m4a1s.

is this kind of ammo the one that will change shape when it shoots into a person's body?

i thought it was banned like 100 years ago something

No that was hollow-point, this ammo will basically make you explode.

wow....

humans are sometimes very smart in thinking of nasty ideas of torturning other fellow humans....

bravo!!

That type of ammo would produce some interesting results in regards to a head shot.

Lovely. MMMM Right before lunch too. Thanks

A lot of this sort of thing is over kill, these sorts of bullets are fine but would need to be in the hands of a marksman so that they can be put to the best use. To just blaze away with magazines of this stuff would be an utter waste.

man. thats crazy, imagine a sniper round with the same capabilities, even a little more high power explosive, shoot the middle one and you take all 4 out. take out a humvee. bam! one shot, 235436747kills.
