Hollow points would be nearly useless for the military anyway so who cares? Just because the media is afraid of them doesn't make them any more evil. Why would the military be interested in a round that lacks armor penetration, can fail to reliably expand, and can be finicky keeping the rifle fed. A FMJ will always strip from the magazine into the chamber more reliably, a FMJ will always rip through body armor, vehicle armor, and enemy cover more effectively, and a FMJ will always hit the target the same way.

Josh, not necessarily. We have reliable weapons chambered for FMJ, because that is the parameter we must adhere to.
Had the Hague never happened, weapons systems would be designed to reliabley chamber and fire hollowpoints (or whatever bizarre round developed) in combat arms. I believe history shackles us to the current feed and fire system."A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within.

But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself...A murderer is less to fear.

Again...NO.
A ''lopsided'' bullet would fly like a poorly thrown football. Not straight, not fast, and most certainly not accurately.
You showed a 5.45mm Soviet round. Not NATO, not 5.56mm, nor 7.62mm, nor 12.7mm, and absolutely not lopsided.
The majority of the bullet weight is in the REAR, but that does not make it lop-SIDED. Big differences.
You may be thinking of twist rate and stabilization. NATO weapons impart just enough twist for accurate shooting, but leave the bullet spinning slow enough for immediate destabilization, and tremendous upset at impact."A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious.
