FMJ yaw and upset performance

However, the other piece of the US puzzle is that we AREN'T Hague signatories, so it really doesn't matter.

I would agree, except for one thing: While it's true that the US did not sign Declaration III, it has always been official policy that we will conform to it. And we did so for at least the first half of the 20th century.

But, even under Declaration III, the US has always been free to use expanding bullets against other non-signatories (such as al-Qaeda and the Taliban). Since we practice an obvious fiction that we still abide by the Hague ban, I say that is dishonest, at best.
