Chris Boonzaier Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Scary stuff..... You often see interviews with gangbangers who have been shot 4 or 6 times during their careers.... this would cut down on that... On the other had, if the bad guys get it.... a liquor store heist can turn pretty bloody pretty fast!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Boonzaier Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 I am suprised they allow an ammunition like this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spasm Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Maximised damage available to anyone who wants to buy them advertised by someone who purposely sounds like Clint Eastwood. Don't ammunition manufacturers and suppliers need some form of licence. Why would anyone want these things? To shoot at targets, pieces of jelly, watermelons and Sainsbury's chickens I suppose. I have absolutely no idea why these would even be considered by any combat or security type professionals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mervyn Mitton Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Since the Geneva Convention most forms of ammo. that have hollow points - and other nasty modifications, have been banned. However, in SA we can freely buy - on our gun licenses - hollow pointed ammo.. The British originally called this type 'Dum Dum' - after the factory that made them in India. The US military have a rocket type of ammo. - of which the pictures that Chris show, must be a variation. I saw them on a James Bond film - so, it must be correct ! Say what you like - at short range a shotgun is still the best for defence. I have a twin barrel Brno. - can't use a multi-shot, too heavy. I had 6 inches off the barrels to use more easily and one barrel has no. 9 shot (9 x .32 balls) and the other a 1.5 ounce solid slug. (58gms). My only doubts are - could I get it out of the safe in an emergency................. Mervyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul wood Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Who would want one of these things? After my journey into work today I could to some serious damage in Southern Railways and Transport for London's offices with one of those.

dond Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Yes, the ban only applies to the military. I think for home defense a frangible round is best as you don't want rounds going thru walls and into other rooms. I will say that that watermelon did not deserve to die that way.

dond Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 At least we know if we are ever invaded by a race of intergalactic blobs we have the ammo to take care of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
