OK...they are just a gimmick, that is why the counter snipers that guard our President use them, and why DevGRU uses them, and why the AMU has thousands of them in storage and refuses to use them because they are an "unfair advantage against civiilians" in comps like Camp Perry. I guess a few of you geniuses should know, that the last time I checked, the Secret Service Counter snipers have markmanship skills, and do practice.......NavSurfWarDEVGRU has an ammo budget larger than some countries GNP.....we know they practice.
OK, but I'm sure the scret service guys who shoot a human are not going to clean a gut shot terrorist, or eat them.
When it comes to killing, tissue damage is the measure. In the real world, lead bullets don't hold a candle to this new technology.
I am not second guessing that it does in fact kill. What my question was, and is, is what happens when a heavy shoulder bone is encountered? It seems to defy physics that something that will disintegrate in soft lung tissue will have the ability to punch through heavy bone. If your bullet goes between two ribs, has limited contact with any muscle tissue, hits lungs and turns to powder, how will it go through bone deep enough to get the job done?
And who on earth could say "just shoot them in the gut"? That sounds incredibly unethical to me. At least that is what I was taught.
