Signed, or not, legally bound, or not, the US has a history or, and official sanction adhering to the practice of using FMJ in combat.
WE do it as a practical matter, FMJ works more reliably than anything else in all weapons in the worst conditions.
The fact that this lines up with the Hague accords is a bonus.
Mike says we signed the 1907 accord, and gives evidence, so despite the "information" given by my sgts and other "fully informed" soldier types back when I was in the service, I shall believe him.
(they said we never signed, but chose to comply voluntarily)
SO, we signed, where does that put us now, regarding hollowpoints??
Nowhere different than where we have been since 1907.
The Accords only forbid HP ammo when fighting signatory states. We are not doing that. We are not breaking any law, or treaty by using JHP ammo against those who are not members of the military force of signatory states.
We would not be breaking anything but custom to use JHP (or anything else) against irregulars, bandits, revolutionaries, or any other name for fighters not belonging to the regular military of recognized nation states.
I do find it somewhat amusing that there was no real interest in JHP pistol ammo use when the military was still using the .45acp. Now, after some years of combat use with the 9mm FMJ, NOW they are looking at using hollowpoints....
I wonder why that might be....
