I know that either the Geneva Convention or the Hague convention says it's illegal to use anything but FMJ ammunition, but given the effectiveness of this new blended metal ammo, shouldn't the law be changed to allow it? Ammunition that can kill quickly and efficiently, even when it strikes an extremity, might be more humane than ammo that has a greater potential to "merely" wound and maim someone for life. It also means a soldier doesn't have to hit someone 5 or 6 times to bring them down, which decreases the danger to the soldier.
