The Last Thing That Went Through bin Laden's Mind

My twisted mind | 5/11/11 | RightOnline

[RightOnline]

This, ladies and gentlemen, was the last thing to go through Osama bin Laden's mind before he died:

[RightOnline]

Sorry. Couldn't resist.

[wastedyears]

I’ll be devil’s advocate.

It could’ve been a 9mm, .45, or 7.62.

I thought it had to have full a metal jacket to be a legal military round.

[mad_as_he$$]

Actually I am confident it was a 9mm subsonic round from an MP-5.

[Indy Pendance]

Oh sh*t.

[Doogle]

I would've held this up in his face and said,"see ya in a few seconds"

[Dustoff45]

Are you sure it wasn’t “Oh Crap, the policies of George W. Bush finally caught up with me, now the insecurities of the One are going to kill me!”

[Uri’el-2012]

It could’ve been a 9mm, .45, or 7.62.

I would say
M4 => .223
MP5 => 9x19mm, 10mm, .40 S&W

[MuttTheHoople]

Would've done more damage.

Found this site (http://www.usnews.com/news/washington-whispers/articles/2011/05/11/the-gun-that-killed-osama-bin-laden-revealed"), stating (supposedly definitively) what was used for the kill:

"HK416 rifle, an M-16 type weapon....firing 5.56 mm rounds"

"I thought it had to have full a metal jacket to be a legal military round."

It just has to be designed in such a manner as to not inflict superfluous injury in order to be used against uniformed combatants. The round pictured looks like an M855A1, which certainly fills the requirement.

Back in 1990, the Army Jag Corps approved the use of the M852 7.62x51 match grade boattail hollowpoint for use by Army snipers. The memorandum I linked to explains the rationale in light of the text of the Hague Convention language.
