    Default Explosive ammo (from the eastern front)

    https://www.full30.com/video/82efb57...205966ef3d3c9d

    On the Eastern Front during World War II, both German and Russian snipers were officially authorized to use explosive spotter-type rifle ammunition (B-Patrone for Germans, PZ for Russians) on human targets. The projectiles in the ammunition contain a charge of highly reactive phosphorus and a priming compound, and explode on impact. We were curious to see how effective they really were compared to standard ball ammunition..

    Pretty impressive

    However, given the size of an average human, I'm not sure why anyone would aim for the pelvis over center mass

    The ammo was used to kill Soldiers wearing the battle gear of the era so I would hazard a guess the snipers using that ammo got a little creative in their delivery of rounds. The one excerpt from the German snipers book said he turned one Russian Officers head into pink mist before he could murder a German POW. These days with vests, heavy jackets and a few inches of fat they may work well. A good marksman with some good optics could decapitate a target. I would still like some just to see what they can do.

    It plays fine in Chrome. FYI. Loads a little slow, which I suspect maybe on their end??
