Was not Sweden, 10 or 12 years ago, trying to develop a rifle bullet, made of copper or something, with which they could shoot you, and it wouldn't hurt too much? I recall reading about some people in Somalia or somesuch E.

IIRC, the locals thought this was hilarious and planned to show up in huge crowds, knowing they wouldn't get killed, just irritated. Do not some people understand that the Third World folks grow up in the real world as it used to be for all of us 200 years ago? I think lots of them are naturally a lot tougher than most of us, just from growing up in a hard-scrabble society.
