Thank u, Oralloy.
I wonder if u can shed any light on the functionality of this slug.
I 've heard this 2 ways:
it has been alleged that on impact within the target,
the .223 slug
tumbles, thereby producing a much greater wound cavity
than .223 woud suggest.
On the other hand,
I 've heard that there were complaints that this was too similar
to dum dum bullets, such that a complaint to NATO
resulted in changing its functioning to avoid the tumbling
thereby not to resemble dum dum bullets
and just leaving what is in effect a .22 caliber bullet hitting the target.
I notice that there is
no mention of tumbling
in the diagram.
Have u heard anything about this,
to either confirm or deny it ??
