Guys:
OK -- here you go.
1. State the requirements for a new design of service rifle ball ammunition that may replace the currently issued NATO 5.56 M-855 Ball and 7.62 M-80 Ball.
In order to define a requirement you need to find documented evidence of the shortfall of the currently issued ball ammunition or mission needs statements that have a signature from a 0-6 or above who is or was in a Command position at the time of the document. An easier way to do it is to see if Benning or USSOCOM have created such a requirements document.
So, instead of arguing over the Hague Conventions of 1899 time better spent would be in determining if any requirements exist and if not, figuring them out first and then getting into yaw and other problematic issues of terminal ballistics.
Any takers?
