Nationstates Hetalia VI: The Time of Times (OOC/OPEN)

Why not? They're just nasty, designed specifically so the enemy cannot heal.

so? we're trying to kill them, da? if we kill them, then they can't heal anyways, seems like a waste of thinking to me

No, no you're absolutely NOT trying to kill them. You're trying to make them operationally ineffective, or in other words you're trying to make it so they can't fight anymore. The entire point behind small arms innovation is to make it so you can force the enemy to stop fighting without actually killing them - that way war becomes less "statistical" for both sides.

Hollow point ammunition only really has two places: Hunting and target shooting. In hunting it's great because often times a single shot won't do it (as opposed to against humans when a single shot usually does them in). In target it's good because they're a bit more accurate.

I mean I don't understand...

What did you feel when you first saw that thing explode?

I thought "Oh sh!t I nuked the place...."

Exactly.

A SABOT round flies too fast to bounce, it will overmach and penetrate at any angle.

Indeed. In fact back in the sixties when sabot ammunition was being applied to small arms, one of the problems was literally that it penetrated so much it went out the back of the person's body without causing much shock.

Another good one: when the AMX 13 90 came out it only shot sabot, there were real concerns that it wouldn't damage Soviet armor because it penetrated all the way through, leaving the vehicle operational do to the lack of structural damage.

They band Triangle Blades for the same reason. the wounds were to hard to stitch up.

Canister C.R.A.M. shells are illegal, but Russia loads them on the T90A1

And then there's always the fabled ".12 M1", basically an M1 Abram's main cannon sabotted down to .12" (3mm). Supposedly it left the muzzle so fast the barrel was actually damaged due to the flood of air from the resulting air gab.

At which point you should just buy a western tank for cheaper.

Or, you turned your T-90 into a western tank. So western in fact, that it's more west than west, it would be, 'wester'.
