“...the new M855A1 Enhanced Performance Round — with its steel core instead of a toxic lead slug ...”
Calling lead “toxic” in this context is just plain false.
This politically correct bullet material begs a rewrite of and old saying:
For want of a powerful hit, the wound was not sufficiently disabling.
For want of a disabling wound, the soldier kept on fighting.
For want of a sufficient number of enemy disabled the skirmish was lost.
For want of winning a sufficient number of skirmishes the battle was lost...
Even if this guys claims of penetration are correct, this round will just blow through an enemy combatant with minimal damage.
It cant be a steel penetrator and work just as effectively in soft tissue.
You have to laugh....... they are concerned about lead in bullets but nobody bats an eyelash at mercury in our lightbulbs.
The irony of liberalism never ceases to amaze me.
