Lets start over: how do you design a GPC?

[stanc]

If you have a lateral injury to the abdomen that is non-lethal either way you are probably going to have peritonitis and either some poor cutters are going to get carpal tunnel with all that bowel resection or....well there really is no way to come out good on that deal...getting gut-shot with rifles is nasty, nasty business.

Maybe if you get hit in the tricep or something where you have a terrible ripping and exploding wound with the varmit grenade versus a clean and cauterized through and through with the fmj round you have a clear choice. : )

Okay, go with that example, then. I know which I'd prefer.

The reason I said abdomen is because of the experience of an old acquaintance, a Marine veteran of Vietnam who was gut shot with 7.62x39 rounds during a firefight. I don't know how much internal surgery he went through, but he survived with only three little pucker scars as a visible reminder.

:Shudder: I am sorry I brought this up all of a sudden.

Yeah. Maybe we should get back to topic. The military will use whatever bullet type they deem appropriate.
