It all seems kind of quaint when you can shred people with artillery, grenades, autocannons, mortars, and so forth, possibly not killing them but leaving them in agonizing pain and disfigurement, but a bullet that makes a slightly larger wound cavity is uncivilized.
Disabling them without killing is generally deemed morally superior, and the force of a solid metal slug can cause heavy internal damage so it isn’t superior to rounds more likely to pierce.
