Modern military rounds are alledged to kill via hydrostatic shock. If true, the brain is irreprably damaged and the human destroyed at a speed faster than pain can be conducted via the nervous system.
The truth is there is no way to kill an animal that wants to live which isn't hideous. The destruction of life is revolting.
That's not how any of this works. They aim for the heart. Bullets kill by blood loss (mostly). Headshots are for video games. Both soldiers and hunters are taught to aim for center mass.
And "modern military rounds"? Lol. You have no idea what you're talking about. Military grade ammo is generally less powerful as well as being limited to non-expanding bullets. If anything, civilian "personal defense" ammunition is worse.
Finally, death is an unavoidable part of life. Would you tell a wolf it's hideous and disgusting for killing a rabbit?

this is the claim proponents of killing people with guns being reasonable make. Nothing to do with headshots you rude twerp.
I'll be sure to shit on your floor if I ever visit, since a wolf would do that btw.
