Overkill...

[alexpgp]

A couple of weeks ago, the French news agency AFP circulated a story that began:

An elderly Iraqi woman shows two bullets which she says hit her house following an early coalition forces raid in the predominantly Shiite Baghdad suburb of Sadr City.

The accompanying photo shows the old lady and yep, she's holding two "bullets" (better known as "cartridges" by anyone who has ever mastered the very fundamental basics of firearms).

The Dissident Frogman has an interesting take on this.

Cheers...

I'd like to see what kind of gun fires the shell casing along with the bullet, particularly in such a way that the whole projectile can hit a house without deforming!
