There must be a treaty against using dum dum's.

And we always play by the rules.

Yeah, but such rounds won't penetrate cover or armor AT ALL, which outside of any treaty, makes them pretty much useless on the modern battlefield.

Indeed there are. Exploding, mushrooming, and other bullets that cause "unnecessary harm and suffering" are not banned under international treaty. Oddly enough, silencers and flash suppressors are also restricted, and I have no idea why. That's why we need one of those microwave guns fast. Just wholesale cook the bastards.

Yes there is - it's called the Geneva Convention and the signatories have to use 'full metal jacketed' ammunition so that it doesn't 'mushroom' on impact. Of course Al Quaida is not a signatory but it doesn't matter - we are and will will continue to comply...

Geneva Conventions of 1924, IIRC...

Federal - 45 cal. ACP 230 grain Tactical Hydra-Shok JHP would cure what ails 'em.

It's called the Geneva Convention.
Dum dums were why the original Geneva Convention occurred....
