Question: Use of HEAT rounds counts as punishment or a combat act? (What about punishing the invader?)
Kind regards
HEAT Rounds are High Explosive Anti-Tank (HEAT) and creat a jet of super hot plasma to cut through the metal or other armor of a hard target. You don't want to waste those rounds against an individual, in most cases. Although they do work fine against unarmored targets in a pinch. :twisted:
Forgive me. I used the term "invader" in the general sence, I should have said "invaders". I agree HEAT are to nice to be wasted.
I had the nasty thought about white phosphorus rounds and unarmored targets. :twisted: (Ok, ok sick joke I know!)
But the question remains is it battle-act or horrible punishment?
And to become serious: Even if we exclude the 90% of reported cruelty as malicious slander then, even the rest 10% is enough to consider the botomless pits of human perversion with horror.
Kind regards
