Numerous rounds embedded in harness, webbing, etc., plus extremity hits but none fatal!
Well jefnvk etal, had you READ my original comment completely, their aim was not perfect, as they were in the middle of a firefight- The takedown shot was by the team sniper I believe. And I will check to see if he has pictures.
I suppose all you experts always have 1 shot, 1 kill even in the middle of a firefight so this would have NEVER happened if you had been there...
This statement has been, and always will be, total BS. I really would like to know how this lie ever started. There is not ONE legit source which can justify this statement.
Blackrazor here is your justification-
International laws of war had developed during the 18th and 19th centuries included the Declaration of St. Petersburg; November 29 1868, which was referenced and expanded upon with the Hague Conventions of 1899
Quote- On the proposition of the Imperial Cabinet of Russia, an International Military Commission having assembled at St. Petersburg in order to examine into the expediency of forbidding the use of certain in times of war between civilized nations, and that Commission, having by common agreement fixed the technical limits at which the necessities of war ought to yield to the requirements of humanity, the undersigned are authorized by the orders of their Governments to declare as follows:
Considering that the progress of civilization should have the effect of alleviating as much as possible the calamities of war:
That the only legitimate object which States should endeavour to accomplish during war is to weaken the military forges of the enemy;
That for this purpose it is sufficient to disable the greatest possible number of men;
That this object would be exceeded by the employment of arms which uselessly aggravate the sufferings of disabled men, or render their death inevitable;
That the employment of such arms would, therefore, be contrary to the laws of humanity;
The Hague Conventions of 1899 included Declaration III -
Outlawing the Use of Bullets Which Expand or Flatten Easily in the Human Body
The main effect of the Convention of 1899 was to ban the use of certain types of modern technology in war: bombing from the air, chemical warfare, and hollow point bullets.
But since your expertise is Obviously greater than mine, I know this will not satisfy you...
