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
Expanding bullets, also known colloquially as dumdum bullets, are projectiles designed to expand on impact. This causes the bullet to increase in diameter, to combat over-penetration and produce a larger wound, thus dealing more damage to a living target.
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.
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.
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.
1 Ιαν 2016 · The base does not have to be covered by the jacket for the bullet to be considered a full metal jacket (FMJ) but allows the bullet to expand when subjected to firing pressures (Courtney-Green, 1991). These rounds are common across military applications and law enforcement and are available on the civilian market.
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.
