The military has in the past, as a strategic matter, used bullets and calibers that do less damage to a combatant because the thinking is that if you wound rather than kill it takes two people out of the theatre one that is wounded and one to carry the wounded out. As a general rule (there are a few exceptions) hollow points are not as accurate and cost more than round nosed FMJ bullets, so this smells on so many levels.

Exactly right !!!

good point

There is nothing strange here at all. Don't you recall when Ovomit first ran for president and he said that America needs a civilian force to replace the military?

because they are not Pecos Bill and know how to use a lariat...a rope...well lasso a tornado

Maybe they are going to shoot down a tornado or use objects in the tornado for target practice. Ha, they might put that in the next article and the idiots will believe it....

curiouser and curiouser

I don't know ANYONE that uses hollow points for target practice, I just don't buy it. I'm curious why the National Weather Service employees need hollow point 40 cal. ammo ???
