No - in common english a “shell” is a projectile that contains explosives.
You don’t report what isn’t illegal.
I’ve given you the rules - you can remain as pig headed about being wroing as you like - but you are still wrong.
ok im pig headed and you keep on thinking that guns shoot shells instead bullets.
bet you probably load clips into your gun too
Cannons shoot shells - again common usage.
All cannons are guns, not all guns are cannons.
Mortars alos shoot shells but are not guns.
But hey - prove your case - lay a complaint with the ICC about every country that has used 20mm cannon vs infantry in the last 100 years… let’s see how that goes for you.
Also falling in the <400gm definitin - all 30-40mm grenade launchers, 25, 27, 30mm cannon - there’s plenty for you to pick from for your blinding revelation to the world judiciary…
as I’ve now reiterated twice, i was referring to the “to this current day” part of the OP. i know you are having a really hard time understanding that, but i think we’re on the same page that WW2 and modern war are just a little bit different on what rules existed.
i know you want to seem really really smart but im not sitting here arguing with a mil-sim warrior that cant comprehend the difference between direct and indirect fire weapons. please, by all means, join the military and do literally anything against geneva convention. you’d probably enjoy spreading all your knowledge rotting in the brig
You know I can only find 2 mentions of the word “current” in this thread - one of them is the post I’m replying to - the other is someone else.
Small HE rounds continue to be used to this current day - 30 and 40mm grenade launchers fit the definition too.
“This current day” is irrelevant in whatever sense you think you used it - WW2, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq - all of them, all the time, everywhere ther are small HE rounds being used against infantry and you think they are war crimes - Americans, Russians, their allied forces… so fill your boots.
And actually - no, especially in WW1 - they took the St Petersburg convention very seriously - specifically exempting exploding and incendiary ammunition that was intended for use against aircraft and airships.
British pilots carrying Buckingham incendiaries would also carry a letter saying they were on a balloon hunting mission so they would not be tried for the crime - although infamously Albert Ball VC apparently used them with no regard for the rules - using a 1:1 mix in general air combat.
ya dude, the forum is over run with butthurt, mil-sim tards that will argue to the death of them to seem intelligent and relevant lmao. some real “yeah i was gunna join the military but _____ …” energy in this forum.
quite a few. Also spent a lot of time at the ICRC headquarters.
Also worked inter-agency counter war crimes.
.>be wrong
.>get ass mad
You sure you have the temperament to be a CoNTeNt CrEaToR?
lmao what a lying sack of shit. anybody can be a content creator, just gotta deal with worthless toxic trash bags every now and then
This thread has gone off-topic, and unfortunately I need to therefore lock it.
The OP is free to make another thread, but this one has been overcome by unrelated discussion.
