U.N. is also not happy with the NewsMax report that the U.N.'s sidearms (9mm Glocks) do not carry conventional safety locks and as such, are more prone to accidentally discharge than the Smith & Wessons previously used by the United Nations.

The problem is compounded by the extremely deadly "hollow point" bullets employed by the U.N. security force.

AAAAAAHHH gun paranoia alert!!! Not hollow points!!!! We need safer guns and SAFER BULLETS!!!

If I had wagered, I would have guessed those things fired suppositories.

U.N. security officers opt to carry empty pistols

And they point them and yell "BANG, I shot you! Hey! You're supposed to fall down!.....MOM!!!!!"

Unlike conventional bullets, hollow points will explode on impact and shatter inside a target's body. The attributes of such ammunition is that there is less chance of a ricochet, endangering bystanders. Also, fewer hollow points are needed to kill a target because of its shattering characterisitc.

From the description, it sounds like hollow points are safer bullets.
