....are considered a variation of Federal Cartridge Co.’s Federal Trophy Bonded Bear Claw round, which was developed for big-game hunting and is touted in a company news release for its ability to crush bone.
That's gonna leave a mark!

This is a good step IMO. I’d prefer they finally ditch that stupid Treaty and go to a 62 grain PSP, though.

Good.
More kills should mean fewer lawsuits from disabled hadjis.
Lets just hope these rounds become permanent regular issue.

It's an "open tip" projectile, so the troops can simply observe the BYOBG rule (Bring Your Own Bacon Grease).
There's also an MRE with ham in it, IIRC.

It’s a secret. All u.s. military ammo is filled with hog lard.
Just don’t tell hadji!

Could we invent a bacon-wrapped bullet to use on Jihadists?

Is that what they mean by “linked ammo”. Pork sausage links? I need a gun chambered in .223 Hog.
To: Lurker
That’s a good thing about being a civilian. We can shoot any damn ammo we want. Yeah baby. Hot stuff. You bet.

BYOBG.....I like it. Lard tips instead of ballistic tips.
