[QUOTE="Petey308, post: 2775602, member: 106845"] Common rumor spread around like wildfire, but it’s BS. No one is stopping the fight to risk themselves getting killed to save another until the fight is over. And no one is only trying to wound when the wounded member can still potentially fight. Really the only exception would be the rare instances when maybe a sniper is trying to draw out more individuals by wounding someone, but I assure you that sniper ultimately wants to kill them all. Laws may get passed because after the fights and after the war is over, those not directly involved in the fighting see just how brutal war is, or they see the wounded coming in to the hospitals, and ignorantly think there’s a better way to reduce the brutal-ness. In reality, most laws and regulations get put into place by those that really have no experience and no clue how things really work. Some of them tend to be more of a hinderance, that’s for sure. On another note, the original M-16 was built with a slow twist barrel and FMJ ammo to deliberately cause the bullets to tumble. The tumbling would allow the bullets to still cause massive terminal damage. This didn’t last very long though, as tracer rounds are so long they had to have a faster twist to get any sort of accuracy out of them, then the FMJs were replaced by the green tip steel core and OTM style bullets and tumbling was no longer the method they were after.
