The Army Times explores how new powerful munitions and weapons are making our combat forces deadlier than ever. The best improvements in combat performance don’t always come from flashy new platforms but from simply having deadlier bullets. An excerpt:

Recall how bullets bounced off of Superman? That’s because he never was shot with “green ammo.”

So what does this green ammo do? It is still a 5.56 canalured bullet. Does it fragment better at slower speeds then others? Is it barrier blind,goes strait through a wall but will frag on a guy on the other side?

Just a wild guess, the steel allows for better barrier penetration and will separate from the alloy on a fleshy target so at minimal you will at least get 2 or 3 part fragmentation. Could be some level of BS on the media for a the man stopper part and just be a good penetrator and still zip right through a badguy leaving a .22 hole.

I don’t buy the U.S. military might....

An E.M.P. would reduce our technological advantages to scrap metal in a blink of an eye.

We are not prepared for the inevitable and the terrorists know it!

Yeah, but bullets still have affects on different targets when they hit things whether terrorists blink out out electrical grid or not
