Subject: Dikoted Ammo.

Our local group wanted to DIkote actual bullets (along with dusters, street
clothing, and so forth...) But I reminded them (Along with the local gun
guru) that bullets are tippeed with soft material that rips soft tissue
(read, skin) on impact. That's why hollowpoints arte so devastating in
real life.

As such, the dikoting process MELTS the bullet. (Hot plasma, I believe the book
said...) However, a tungsten, platinum, ore other (har har) dense, high
melting point metal works well, but at X7 the cost of normal ammo. AND DON'T
THINK OF DIKOTING EXPLOSIVE ROUNDS, EITHER!

(I'm getting the hang of this yet...)
