The answer lies, we argue, in the fact that the invention of smokeless gunpowder (in the late 1880s) allowed for the development of full-metal-jacket ammunition like the Mark II, a bullet which did not expand on contact with human skin.
Prohibited bullets are perceived as causing large wounds only because they tend to expand so depositing their kinetic energy earlier in the wound track than full metal jacket bullets (see Annex). Full metal jacket bullets remain stable in their passage through tissue for a variable distance before
A full metal jacket (FMJ) bullet is a small-arms projectile consisting of a soft core (often lead) encased in an outer shell ("jacket") of harder metal, such as gilding metal, cupronickel, or, less commonly, a steel alloy.
4 Αυγ 2022 · The article also shows that many of the ideas mobilized in the early 1890s to promote a new range of cordite-powered full-metal-jacket bullets because of the supposedly “clean” and “humanitarian” wounds that they inflicted offer an important context in which to read and explain the prohibition of “man-slaying” expanding ammunition.
The expanding bullets expanded upon impact to a diameter significantly greater than the original .312 inch (7.92 mm) bullet diameter, producing larger diameter wounds than the full-metal-jacketed versions.
The Pentagon's devotion to full-metal jacket, or ball ammunition, is the result of a 116-year-old guideline in the 1899 Hague Convention that prohibits combat units from using of bullets that "expand or flatten easily" inside the human body.
25 Μαΐ 2021 · When softer tissue is struck by a modern high-velocity Full-Metal-Jacket (FMJ) bullet it may not disintegrate but rather tumble—at least initially. The tumbling effect of the bullet can be particularly nasty for the incumbent as the muscle, organs and other soft tissue is crushed and torn to bits.
