    I may be wrong but I believe ball ammo was a condition imposed by the Geneva Convention onto countries that agreed to it or forced into it. As I was told many years before the all knowing IntrawEb befell us, and I take this with a grain of salt but kind of, sort of, almost consider it factual: that was because HP ammunition was considered to dangerous for war - go figure. Supposedly HP ammo was more likely to kill than wound and if it wounded less than fatally it was expected it would maim much worse than ball ammo.

    The hague convention. We did not sign it so we can technically use whatever we want
