[QUOTE="RuffHewn, post: 26984, member: 1358"] [b]Re: Prove MK\'s Expand At Long Range.[/b] Actually, I do not recall reading any statement by Sierra that MKs will not expand. Also in a Mem of Law issued by W. Hays Parks 12 Oct 1990, and info from Cmdr USSOCOM, Army Gen Counsel and JAGs for Navy and Air Force, is a statement that fragmentation was not a design characteristic, that the hollow point is an artifact of manufacture. Also the use of weapons, ammo, and material calculated to cause unnecessary suffering was decided against by the signatories of the Hague Peace Conferences of 1899 and 1907, not the Geneva Convention. It was overturned by Parks first for antiterrorist ops that did not involve engaging military personnel of a foreign state in 1985, then the use of the SMK was approved for use in conventional combat in the Memorandom 12 Oct 1990. SMKs do expand but the wound, at .308 vel from 800+ yds is the same as the old 173 gr FMJ swapping ends, or "tumbling", in flesh. [/QUOTE]
