Damm bomb is very good! Why not military?

Damm bomb is very good! Why not military?

This is a very ethical question, but many people don't understand why dumdum bullets with great lethality can't be equipped in the army.

Let's talk about "Damdam" first.

"Damm Bomb" is a lead hollow warhead produced by Britain in Damm Bomb Factory in India at the end of19th century. Because the bullet with hollow head will be squeezed and deformed by human muscle tissue after being injected into human body, it has great lethality.

As long as a bullet can effectively transmit 78 joules of energy, it can kill people. However, many bullets often passed through the human body before Damme, so the function of bullets to transfer energy into the human body should not be weakened.

"Damme Bomb" adopts hollow warhead and deformation design, which makes energy transfer more efficient. Therefore, the lieutenant general who was hit by Damme will be greatly hurt.

Moreover, the deformation of the "dud" is uncontrollable, which also causes the fragments of the dud to be more dispersed and difficult to take out after a person is hit by the dud. This leads to "inhuman" harm.

Later, all the bullets that burst and deformed after being shot into the human body were collectively called "Damme bombs".

As I said just now, at the end of19th century, Britain developed the Damme bomb at Damme Arsenal in India, but the actual use time was from 1897 to 1898. 1899, The Hague Convention issued the Declaration on Prohibition of Deformed Bullets, which clarified the illegal status of fake bullets in the war.

In the revision of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court in 20 10, the use of dumdum bullets in "non-international armed conflicts" was classified as a war crime. In other words, it is illegal to use "Dummy Bomb" on the battlefield.

All countries in the world (except the United States) strictly abide by this regulation.

But the problem comes back. Isn't the dummy a good ammunition? Why can't it be used for military purposes?

Strictly speaking, dum bullets are semi-armor-expanding ammunition.

The warhead of this kind of ammunition will deform after it is injected into the human body, forming a mushroom shape, and even breaking and splashing.

Militarily, this killing effect is far greater than the military need to stop the action. Belong to the category of exceeding the standard.

But is it so important to do harm to people in the military? -Very important! This has to talk about human rights.

First of all, soldiers are not criminals. Soldiers are a special group, and this group will not use force according to their own wishes. Regular troops are often ordered to carry out military tasks. Therefore, the behavior of soldiers in war is not spontaneous, and they do not need to bear the "spontaneous danger or the consequences of criminal activities". From this perspective, soldiers are a protected group.

Simply put, "they fought not out of their own will, but out of their duty."

The purpose of military suspension is to make the other side lose its combat effectiveness-you don't have to die, and you don't have to suffer more harm and pain. This is the legal basis for banning dumdum bullets.

But why are the police in many countries using dumdum bullets now?

First of all, criminals "spontaneously engage in dangerous or criminal activities" and need to bear the consequences of these activities. Therefore, there is no legal restriction for the police to use dumdum bullets.

Secondly, the feature of dud is that it can release kinetic energy immediately after hitting the target, which makes it difficult for dud to penetrate a person. At this time, the security of the fake bomb to the third person other than the target is greatly improved.

The police won't shoot criminals and hurt innocent passers-by. This has also become the basic basis for many national police to use dumdum bullets.

Moreover, the police in the United States, Britain and Sweden are still sparing no effort to develop more deformed warheads, such as the TSR mentioned above.

Fire with a shotgun, shoot into the human body, and disperse directly.

It is only shallow and deep, but it does great harm to people.

These ammunition can only appear at the scene of the riot, and military use is impossible.
