FMJ yaw and upset performance

[LR1955]

I wonder if any of our participants have enough background in interpretation of the law to do a non-binding pro bono review of the language and generate a summary of constraints? That review and summary could go a long way toward minimizing confusion and blunting wishful thinking.

The result would add relevance to the discussions and greatly assist Tony on his side of the pond and some of us on this side when we make our case to decision makers.

Joe:

Not being a wise guy but why? The US has already determined that open tip match bullets are legal in combat. That happened circa 1991 if I recall correctly. Sure, one can argue the case either way but that argument was settled twenty years ago. For service ball, I doubt anyone is going to use an open tip match bullet due to cost.

Now, you better believe any potential enemy of ours will argue in the international courts to ensure we do not ever use a lethal bullet so what every design anyone tries to make according to international conventions will be argued in a court no matter what. It was done throughout the entire era of the various 5.56 bullets to include that hated 'Green Tip' M-855.

So, let me suggest that we get a bullet design that meets what ever requirements someone has in mind. Or maybe it would pay off more for someone here to specify the requirements for this bullet first and do it technically and specifically. Once the requirements are clear, then the design stuff can happen.
