[QUOTE="Petey308, post: 2775418, member: 106845"] Yes, the laws are stupid and all we’ve done is find ways to circumvent the laws. For instance, I think we all know that an open tip match bullet does indeed expand and it produces significant wounding that results in a fast death. So the military calls for them, knowing that, and they basically just make a deal with the bullet manufacturers to go along with them pretending they don’t expand and completely appease the law. Bergers are exactly that type of bullet and are even specifically marketed for hunting. They simply create other product lines they call “target” bullets and now magically they have bullets that are legal for military use. It doesn’t make sense to me to make a law that requires bullets used in combat to be less damaging. It would be like making laws saying we can only use bullets to hunt with that don’t expand and only create minimal wounding. But, dumb laws get passed all the time. And as a crew chief on the A-10, I’m quite familiar with 30mm HEI rounds and what they do to soft targets. You gotta have some magic Nikes to get away from that. [/QUOTE]
