Both Russia and Germany developed exploding rifle bullets for use in World War II. The Germans had one called “B-Patrone”, while the Russians referred to theirs as “PZ”. The bullets had a small floating firing pin inside, which detonated a small amount of priming material which in turn detonated some white phosphorous. While not intended to be used on people, snipers on both sides put the ammo to good use. The rounds would detonate inside a human body, and the accounts of their effects are that they were phenomenal man stoppers.
This ammo is legal to own but expensive to produce. The question is, if stopping power is a goal, why is no one producing it?
Would this be a product that a handloader could produce?
This is not the same stuff that came out in the early 80s in black boxes. That I know that most handloaders could produce.
