How is it that any round supplied to the military can be described as “unacceptably inaccurate and dangerously unreliable”. If it can be described that way, would it not have those properties regardless of the weapons platform it’s used in?

No.

It could be acceptably accurate in one platform, and dangerously inaccurate and unreliable in another.

Simple enough.

Some 7.62x51 machine gun ammo, for example, will fire just fine in sniper rifles, but is much less accurate than ammo made to be used by snipers.

Just an illustration.

Last I heard these area weapons are not meant to hit soldiers directly and are inherently made inaccurate as a result.. which is dangerous for our troops, but, whatever, we are not signatories but we still abide by the Geneva BS which basically is admission of being an aggressor with a hunting agenda and needed bagging limits.

There should be no bagging or accuracy limits in terror war and self defense.
