    Let's see, the bullet enters tissue, yaws, fractures, with core fragments spreading radially into tissue prior to the tissue being further disrupted with the temporary stretch that is following the projectile...the mechanism is the same whether it is a 55 gr M193, 62 gr M855, 77 gr Mk262, 79 gr DRT, 87 gr PRL, or 100 gr BH. Since bullets that yaw and fragment in tissue were specifically not prohibited by the Hague Convention and this position was not disputed by the 1978 UNCCW Conference and was again reconfirmed during its review in 1994 - 1996, what seems to be the issue here?

    "So it does not do well against intermediate barriers"

    The US Government uses PRL bullets as FRANGIBLE cartridges -- they're SUPPOSED to break up and turn back into dust if they hit something solid.

    Interesting video with the Mandrel sisters.

    Louise needs to work on shooting on the move.

    Irene needs to get my apartment key and not worry about anything else

    I believe Mr. Beal invented the design.

    The PRL/DRT is great for what they are intended to do; I prefer them to a lot of other frangible options that are out there.

    USG Users

    I guess that includes enemy combatants/soft targets?
    The US Government...
