Gun question.

Interesting. I do know that these high velocity rounds will leave huge cavities, so can do a lot of damage beyond making a clean hole. But yes, I do know they are required to be full metal jackets.

Hollow point bullets are used by the military, dumbass.

[Into the Night]

We sometimes underestimate what a serious weapon the M16 is. It is a killing machine.

So you can't stomach killing. What do you eat?

[Into the Night]

I know. I was contrasting that with a regular pistol round. M-16's have a much higher velocity bullet than many of the other bullets you will find.

M-16 is not a bullet nor a cartridge. A pistol is not a bullet nor a cartridge.

Nah. Rattlesnake is all muscle. It tends to be chewy like squid as a result.

Only if you overcook it.

Yes. Really. Hollow point bullets are used by the military. So are FMJ's.

[Celticguy]

D. the skill of the person holding it

[Lionfish]

Yes. Really. Hollow point bullets are used by the military. So are FMJ's.

I stand corrected.

Think MILITARY WEAPONS DUMB ASS!

Which asks a question in itself, WHY DO CITIZENS NEED MILITARY STYLE WEAPONS AND AMMO>

Are you afraid that ole Bugs Bunny is gonna shoot back?

[T. A. Gardner]

Yes. Really. Hollow point bullets are used by the military. So are FMJ's.

Hollow points are illegal by the Genevia Convention for warfare.

The Hague Convention of 1899 forbid the use of "Dum-dum" bullets in war, and that has been continued in the Genevia Convention as a prohibition against using hollow point bullets in warfare. The military used only full metal jacket bullets today.

[NiftyNiblick]

Yes. Really. Hollow point bullets are used by the military. So are FMJ's.

If so, using hollow point bullets is a war crime under international conventions.
Terrorist groups may use hollow points, but they're criminals already.

Detachable magazines are colloquially known as clips. So a large capacity magazine could be called a "large capacity clip."

That's like saying that all refrigerators are Frigidaires because in some place they are "colloquially known" as such. Just saying "colloquial" doesn't mean the same thing as "correct"....

A clip is used to hold the bullets in line to more quickly load a magazine, a magazine pushes the next round up into the firing chamber and is not a clip... They are different things even if folks who do not know about guns use it incorrectly "colloquially".

Well Frigidaire was a monopoly...... until the Anti-Trust laws started kicking in.

Your clip vs. magazine explanation was great!

Do they taste good?

People who eat them say they do. I personally never eat any pork so I have never eaten a hog wild or tame. People like making sausage out of them.

Kyle didn't use an M-16.

The bullet was very similar.
