.357 Magnum Ammo

[hatelore]

Not confusing at all. full metal jacket is a lead bullet incased in steel. Hollow points are bullets that are designed to expand and fragment upon impact. The biggest difference between a fmj bullet and a hollowpoint is expansion. A fmj does not expand as well as a unjacketed hollowpoint. Yet at point blank range there is not as much expansion. +pp is personal protection ammunition that is grained higher then your standard target round. Each bullet has a certain amount of grain (gunpowder) , 170 grain , 240 grain etc. +pp ammo just has more gunpowder in it.

All of this neat information could be found on wiki if you weren't so busy trolling, just saying. If you are serious, seek help. Life is short, and should be valued. We are very lucky creatures.

The majority of civilian ammo will be hollow point. This is so when Trayvon acts a fool it doesn't penetrate past his chest and go into someones house.

Also, is your 357 by chance a python? Is the barrel interior in good condition with no pitting? Are the screws un-narled? Would you care to sell it if so? Just saying, I always wanted a nice python. or is it by chance a model 60? If so I want one of those too!

And all (most?) military ammo is fmj due to something dum with the Geneva convention. Our boys are literally just shooting pencil sized holes through the terrists

I never did get that, "hey lets invade iraq and shoot terrorists with 9mm ammunition made for high velocity armor peircing, who cares if they usually just wear rags, this is one of those just in case kinda scenerios!" Instead of a nice 45 acp , slow flying hard hitting ammo such as your kimber 1911 would have. Can't beat a good 45 acp round in a pistol. That shits classic.

Kind of like the roughly (conservative) 150,000 civilians we've murdered in Iraq since 2003.

For some reason, innocent men, women, and children don't wear body armor in the course of their daily lives.

I don't know why people memorize the shit they do. I heard a poem once though:

"The worldly hope men set their hearts upon turns ashes or it prospers; and anon like snow upon the deserts dusty face, lighting a little hour or two is gone."

[Malice_Mizer]

Not the mention hundreds of thousands further civilian deaths we've been directly responsible for by decimating their ability to provide basic water, electricity, and shelter.

Also: the fifteen-fold increase in cancer and birth defects among Iraqi children due to the United States testing all types of explosive devices on Iraqis -- thermobaric weapons, white phosphorus, depleted uranium...

Oh, and also the half a million people who died before the invasion because we placed such ridiculous sanctions on Iraq that the populace was unable to receive basic healthcare and other necessities.

But yeah. Terrorists. Freedom. Fuck yeah.

Couldn't decide on a 1911 or AR build next, but you're helping me make a choice
