re: #8 Shiplord Kirel

The various Geneva Conventions have banned expanding and exploding bullets since the 1860s. The minimum size of an exploding projectile was originally set at one pound, which corresponded to a lead ball 37mm in diameter. This is why 37mm was the minimum artillery caliber for decades. The standard has changed over the years, but there is still a prescribed minimum that effectively prohibits explosive or expanding small arms ammunition in warfare.

How civilized.
