No the UK isnt the USA (yet) we have had armed police for many years now.
How is hollow point 'less than lethal'?
Shoot to wound would be nice, but then why have tazers? Just bin them and go for the glory shot

Er......
I wasn't saying hollow points weren't lethal.
I was saying that because you cannot shoot to wound forces around the world have been experimenting with what they term "less than lethal" responses.
We're talking about projectiles (bags, batons, rubber balls etc), gases, quick set foam (AKA Riot Foam from 2000ad) and various ways of pumping high voltage into the human body.

So along with high staffing numbers, "beanbag" rounds, batons, tasers,'choke and suppression' techniques, body armour, national CCTV system, automatic weaponry,foam, tear gas, pepper spray, plastic bullets, air support (I'd better put as in 'surveillance', as you'll probably think I mean Hellfire missile support)
You still think Hollow point is required? Oh, lets do grenades next, or maybe tactical low radius atomic weaponry?
