A couple things. First, none of the items you posted have ALL the advantages of a gun, you just found another reason guns trump all of the things you listed (As one thing with 6 qualities is better than 16 things each with one of those 6 qualities).
despite all this, even before guns were invented, people still found a way to kill other people and even large critters like mammoths and elephants.
Second, neither a crossbow nor a longbow are cheaper than a gun, unless you are buying a children's version.
ha ha ha ha ha
no. youre fucking wrong.
Third, Armor Piercing Bullets and Hollow Point Bullets are opposites.
Armor piercing bullets are solid and heavy with a hardened tip to punch through armor.
no shit? really?
They cause less damage to soft tissue as they do not deform or break up upon impact.
no? really? i had no idea that FMJ or Ball ammo doesnt deform. you might wanna tell the US Army about that.
Hollow Point Bullets are light, and (as the name implies, hollow) and the massive amount of damage they cause is due to the fact that they deform and break up upon impact, causing more tissue damage and leaving a much larger exit wound (Or breaking apart completely inside the body and leaving no exit wound, even worse).
the sort of thing only a person who doesnt know shit about firearms or terminal ballistics would claim.
hollow point and yes, even soft tip bullets are designed to expend their energy on the target rather than passing through. the "soft tissue damage" you are talking about is a "temporary wound channel" which is, as the name implies TEMPORARY.
the flesh deforms and then returns to it's original state, which looks dramatic on high speed video but DOES NOT KILL.
science and medicine have long ago dismissed these claims
Your claim that "A bullet wound is a bullet wound" is absurdly naive and betrays a tragic misunderstanding of both physics and firearms, as is saying that they are all "equally difficult to repair", but even you know this as you immediately contradict yourself by saying that "Each one is very different and performs differently".
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
no, really, thats dumb as shit. to anchor game a responsible hunter ALWAYS uses soft tip or hollow point ammo.
ball ammo is used by the military due to an obsolete and idiotic belief in the 1900's that hollow points are "cruel and unusual" and are "designed to kill" which is the stupidest claim this side of the flat earth looneys
ALL bullets are designed to kill. hollow points and soft tips dont kill you any deader than a well placed ball round.
But way to make several unrelated and incorrect assertions that, even if true, have little to no bearing on the actual discussion.
fascinating.
so youre saying that Black Talon hollow points are NOT armour piercing?
perhaps thats why i said that those claims were BULLSHIT genius.
you might wanna hunt a critter or two, dress your kills and then re-evaluate your assertions.
ball ammo and AP ammo DOES deform, just often not by design. but they still can kill quite effectively. hollow points are not any more lethal than any other well placed round.
the 5.56nato round was extensively redesigned FOR DEFORMATION and fragmentation. the only reason it doesnt have a hollow point is a retarded rule in the geneva convention banning "dumdum bullets"
cops, federal agents, sherifs, the US marshals, and every other law enforcement agency use hollow points exclusively, because they work better than ball ammo for putting the perp on the gound, not because they cause gruesome traumatic wounds which resist medical intervention.
stop watching CSI, it's rotting your brain
