I’m reminded of something gunwriter Pat Sweeney wrote in his seminal book on the Automat Kalashnakov: “If the Soviets could have made bullets out of concrete, they would have.”
Yeah, those bullets had some dead space. Made ‘em tumble but I didn’t know it made them expand. I like the Wolf softpoints.
Just repeating what the briefer told us. Sure looked like a deliberate attempt to increase wound damage. Expanding or deliberate tumbling = multiplied wound trauma, same-same, but clever sidestep. The Russians knew their enemy in Afghanistan and had no crippling ROE.
