I haven't mentioned anything about using fully automatic weapons. Where did that come from? A hollow point doesn't have the penetrating force as a FMJ round, so this isn't always true. My position has been consistant.

You can talk all the science you want, but in the end it comes down to the skill of the person doing the shooting and where the victim is hit as to whether or not a hollow point or a FMJ round is more lethal.

It doesn't have to use the phrase FMJ, but the reason the US military uses FMJ ammunition is to comply with the Hague Convention.

This depends on who's doing the shooting and where the victim is hit.

I didn't, that's how it's written in the Hague Convention.

The objective is to neutralize the enemy, and that requires a soldier to shoot to kill. Shooting at an enemy combatant with the intent to only wound can get yourself or members of your unit killed.

I didn't say they were.

Yes, I qualified with and was issued one when I was in the Army. I'm also a missionary in Bangsamoro, so I'm very familiar with its history., but we were talking about FMJ ammunition and why the military uses it. I will add that the US military used FMJ rounds in the M1911 in modern times.

I know this, but this is what you said: The above is not true. The reason is because it's against the Hague Convention to use expanding or dum-dum rounds in war.

You are moving the goalposts. Below is your original comment. Another member resonded with "The military uses FMJ because it's against the Hague Convention to use expanding or dum-dum rounds in war." To which you responded: I then responded with: And your response: I then provided...

This may very well be true, but this doesn't change the fact that the AR-15 was initially designed for the military and was designed to kill enemy combatants in the most efficient way possible. The projectile originally designed for the AR15 was a 55 grain, caliber .223 Remington bullet, with...

They would be wrong. I tried to find a US Army field manual online to show this since that's the branch I belonged to, but wasn't able to. I was able to find one from the Navy though. Unnecessary Suffering. Antipersonnel weapons are designed to kill or disable enemy combatants and are lawful...

The purpose of the sword found in Luke 22:36 was to fullfill prophesy. And He said to them, “When I sent you out without money belt and bag and sandals, you did not lack anything, did you?” They said, “No, nothing.” And He said to them, “But now, whoever has a money belt is to take it along...

The US chose to use FMJ ammunition because of military alliances with nations that are signatories to the Hague Convention.

This is true; however, the AR-15 was initially designed for the military. The M-16 is based on the AR-15 design. The AR-15 was designed to kill enemy combatants in the most efficient way possible. There's no reason for weapons like the AR-15 or those similar to it to be in the hands of civilians.
