Although many military weapons and equipment can play a strategic role in the battlefield, in fact, any military weapon and equipment is terrible for people, because these weapons can easily end a person's life. But when it comes to one of the most frightening weapons in the world.
Then dum bullets from Britain must be one of them. Let's have a detailed look at what kind of weapons dum bullets are. This kind of Dummy Bomb is a kind of bullet developed by Britain. Because it was produced in a local arsenal near Kolkata, India, it is called Dummy Bomb.
was widely used in the northwest border of India and Sudan in 1987 and 1898. In fact, the injury mechanism of dum bullets is very simple, that is, the tip of the warhead is removed from the armor to expose the lead core. After dum bullets hit the human body, the lead core will gush out from the armor under the action of inertia, and then it will be crushed into a mushroom shape under the action of force.
At this time, the nail will expand or rupture, which will release a lot of energy quickly, leading to a sharp increase in human trauma. After being hit by this dum-dum bullet, the injured person will feel great pain, because the blood circulation system in the body will produce great pressure, and people's wounds will have a severe swelling feeling, feeling that blood will rush out directly from the body.
And if the fragments of this dum-dum bullet remain inside the body, it will also lead to lead poisoning for the injured. Moreover, due to the very powerful lethality of Damme bullet, it is basically difficult for the injured person to keep this life after it hits a person. Therefore, this bullet is also called the most inhuman ammunition in the world, so it is banned internationally.
In the third statement of The Hague Convention in 1899, this kind of "warhead which is easy to expand or flatten after entering the human body" was explicitly prohibited. It is worth mentioning that China, the former Qing government, was also one of the signatories of this convention. However, this convention only prohibits the use of such transfiguration bullets in international wars, and does not prohibit other uses.
At international conferences, some people once proposed a total ban on this kind of bullets, but they didn't reach the final understanding and could only be abandoned. And it is precisely because of this that some people will still use this kind of dum bullets, but most people basically use this kind of bullets for hunting.
This kind of bullet is loved by many hunters because it is difficult for the prey to escape from injury after hitting it, and it is also a humanized way to quickly kill or injure the prey.
