Where did CE 399 come to rest during the Shooting?

[Chris Newton]

...whether it takes more resources to deal with a wounded soldier than a dead one, it is hard to say.

Not hard to say….

I don't believe that there is anything "designed" to be "more humanitarian" when it comes to war. For illustration purposes: Do you know what happens when a SABOT APFSDS-T penetrates an armored vehicle that is buttoned up? It creates a vacuum and everything (not nailed down) including the crew is sucked back through the hole created by the round. How "humanitarian" is that? What's it feel like to get sucked through a hole?

FMJ bullets are military rounds not hunting or target rounds. The desire to create casualties requiring the attention of many personnel and consuming resources is a tactic as old as warfare itself. A death, although a still desirable outcome, requires much less.

To David Josephs:

You are preaching to the choir here but irregardless of the source of CE399, it does in fact exist. What's obvious in this thread is that, so far, we all agree it's purported route as theorized by Specter is clearly impossible. CE399 is the keystone of the LN theory, without it everything else falls to the wayside and all that remains is a conspiracy.

Where did it come from? It was dug out of a sand barrel used to clear weapons at a range -that's why it's a "pristine" spent round.

Yes, it does seem odd that the same rules of war that insist a bullet be an FMJ, as opposed to a soft tipped or hollow point, allow artillery and mortar rounds to spread great chunks of shrapnel which make far more horrible wounds than any soft tipped bullet ever did.
