Be aware of an error in the entry for FMJ bullets. They are not outlawed by the Geneva Convention, as stated. It was The Hague Conventions that banned expanding bullets in warfare.

And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Just roll to your rifle and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldier.

Designed to penetrate armor and set target on fire. Tips are usually painted light blue.
Beautiful. Brings a tear to my eye. Not only does it go through armor, it lights **** on fire.
