Lets start over: how do you design a GPC?

Sadly, there is no Supreme Court of JAGS where the precedent is established law. Kinda makes it hard to be a soldier these days I reckon. But, yhea I get the reasoning...we had a deal with those countries and these lot were not part of it. Though to be completely Boy Scout about it, I really don't see the greater humanity of being shot with a FMJ versus a polymer tip or SOST. If I were picking, and hopefully I never will be, I would pick varmint grenade to the dome for sure, but I am sure there is a very good reason nobody asked me. : )

Heh, heh. Yeah, a case could certainly be made that a varmint grenade or other high-lethality, hunting bullet is more humane than FMJ for killing. But, the other side of the coin is that many, if not most, bullet wounds are non-fatal. In those cases, the varmint grenade is far more likely to inflict amputating, very destructive, "inhumane" injuries than (non-fragmenting) FMJ.

To reverse your example, would you rather take a hit to the abdomen or thigh with a varmint grenade, or a slow-yawing, non-fragmenting, 7.62x39 M43 round?
