A couple of months ago I was watching on CBS how some try to insist on keeping what they called "more humane" bullets. I forgot the exact name.
It was just bizarre. The american submachine guns have smaller size bullets comared to AK 47. In some cases they are not effective particularly when you want to wreak havoc during an assault. But they are considered more humane since a bullet from an american gun will not rip your arm, leg ff when it hits you. But how do you fight with this type of bb guns? |

You are wrong, a smaller bullet calibre doesn't mean it will do less damages.
I don't know the American M16 assault gun but I know the french FAMAS, both have the same calibre : 5.56mm and I know that a bullet shot from a FAMAS gun don't have a straight way in the body. A bullet which hit an arm can go out from the neck. |

| Well, that's what the point of the story was. I didn't make it up to be wrong. Unless they didn't know what they were talking about. |

Yeah, but I always thought that when a bullet does this, it's accidental. I didn't know some guns are actually designed to do that! Talk about cruelty! |

| I should've said it in the post before: The truth is it has nothing to do with the size of the bullet. It has to do with the main weight of the bullet being shifted to one part of it (I think usually to the front). Every country uses those but they are deemed inhumane since their trajectory once they penetrate something is unpredictable. |

Yeah it was a good thing destroying half of Lebanon and murdering thousands of lebanese in the process of destroying those "WMD"!!! huh
You seriously believe Israel went into Lebanon for WMD LOL!!! |

Umm... I honestly don't know why your quote says I wrote this, because I didn't, surfguy did. Him, or vitalsigns, I am not sure. And the reason Israel went to lebanon is to get two of their soldiers back that Hesbollah kidnapped earlier during a shootout. |

I didn't say it either. But it doesn't matter. The world as a whole seems to be pro Al-Quaida and supports terrorist groups rather than those who deal with them. We have quite a few folks from C. here who kiss up to terrorists. They are pathetic.
I have noticed the more a la provensale accent you have the more buffoon-like you become. |

Lebanon was destroyed before the Israelis went in there...and getting the soldiers back as the only reason...um highly doubt that...and yes when a population supports terrorism and a terrorist regime...well then they too are terrorist and not innocent. I say the Israelis have every right to do what they did...Just as the Russians had every right to go into Chechnya...and just as the USA has every right to go into Afghanistan, Iraq, and now Iran. But we all have our opinions...ultimately we all what world peace...just the way to achieve it is what we disagree on. Ultimately though when all is said and done let's just hope it ends |

There is difference. Chechnya was always part of Russian Federation. Neither Lebannon nor Iraq are parts of USA or Israel. Only Russian operation is true war against terrorism. Conflict between Lebannon and Israel is the conflict between two countries one of which in the state of anarchy.
Invasion of USA into Iraq is just run for oil and money. At least how I perceive it. I've done this zillon times while playing in the Civilization. |
