If it is a justified shooting, it isn’t going to make a hill of beans what you do it with.
And the” Geneva Convention” doesn’t cover ammo... or have any bearing on a justified self defense case.

"If it is a justified shooting, it isnt going to make a hill of beans what you do it with."
I've certainly heard that said many times before, but it all boils down to who you draw for a local prosecutor. If he/she has political ambitions, you've got a problem. I can tell you what happened to my neighbor after he shot and killed someone: The cops took the house apart, seizing all weapons, ammo, knives, and anything even remotely resembling military stuff. During trial, the prosecutor, seeking to paint my neighbor as a blood-thirsty killer who sought and planned to take a life, any life, presented the jury with an accounting of all his ammo, to include some he'd modified to accept cyanide in the HP cavities. They trotted out his knife collection, photos of his camouflage gear, cartridge belts, police batons, mace canisters. Then the prosecutor revealed the man had "stockpiled" over "500 rounds!" of "lethal" ammunition. Of course, the jury gasped...
