Exploding rounds have one shot stopping power?

Question

Some mordern day smallarms ammunition manufactures are having specially licenced exploding bullets for rifle and also handgun caliber round that seems to have 5 to 10 grams of impct explosive formerly acetone peroxide togeter or not with poisen as liquid mercury and energetic reactive metal powder magnesium aluminum hydrides or the sorts to get some fantastic kills due to explosions on impact and if it is licenced it should be true is it? and is it true for armored targets as well as others in a allaround best round compititions first runnerup.

Answer 1

You've got some bad information there.

poisoned or explosive rounds are not legal in this country,

or anywhere else that I know of.

Frangible, (compressed metal powder), rounds do

transfer all of the kinetic energy to the target at the

price of decreased penetration.

These are available.

They are sometimes used by air marshalls etc.

Do not even think about combining acetone peroxide with firearms in any way.

(The substance varies widely in sensitivity with water content and is volatile.)

Answer 2

I believe that is a myth and not true, because it has been attempted without success.*

Answer 3

not only is it illegal but it is unethical and unnecessary. no matter what you are hunting there is always a gun that will effectively harvest your animal. im not telling you to shoot the biggest gun you can at an animal so it dies, im just saying hunting with those bullets would be a waste of meat. if you want to get explosive bullets you have to make them. they are still useless though because they are actually less effective than a regular bullet ( whatever your preference). and every bullet has one shot stopping power as long as you take good shots.

Answer 4

Wouldn't that be a destructive device?

Answer 5

Exploding bullets as you are describing, are in violation of the NFA, National Firearms Act of 1968. I don't know where you got this information but not in this country.

Answer 6

KCX is quite correct.  If these bullets exist then they would be classified as 'destructive devices' and illegal in the USA.

Are exploding rounds one-shot stoppers?  If you could, ask one of our former Presidents (intitials 'RR').  During a failed-assasination attempt by someone obsessed with a certain former child actress whose most recent, successful film is entitled 'The Brave One' this former Prez was actually shot with 'exploding bullets.'  Shooter got a solid torso hit, too.  The Prez didn't have a clue and thought one of his body guards had accidently broken his rib while trying to protect him!
