[QUOTE="grannysoo, post: 684484, member: 6980"] FMJ is much safer for the soldiers on the battlefield because it does not cause as much tissue/organ damage. If it's a .223 round that they're using (as in M16), then you have a .223 size hole going in and coming out. If you were using a .223 round that was not fmj, then you would have a .223 hole going in and who knows what size coming out, after it had mushroomed. The purpose of battle is not to kill, but to wound. When you kill, the other soldiers are not detained in treating. They will just gather the body when finished. If a soldier is wounded, it can take several soldiers out of the fight trying to save the one that is wounded. FMJ is safer for all involved. [/QUOTE]
