Question: Where did people get the idea that hollow tips are the "standard
round" for Shadowrun?
Furthermore: When we're done debating armor, combat pool, and dikote, I have
yet another topic to discuss: Armor!

BTW: I agree with Carter: Bullets are a high-energy blunt attack and dikote
will do nothing more than harden them up. It's the difference between getting
hit by a steel ball at 600 mph and a ball of silly putty at 600 mph. They'll
both hurt, but they will react differently.

How about this: Dikoted bullets halve armor; this can be applied to the
tungsten core or whatever of APDS. That idea is just off the top of my head,
and I realize it's a lame compromise, but again I agree with Carter when he
says it's just a diamond coating.
