I am skeptical to say the least. Troops too concerned about Hague convention issues to use effective ammo are likely missing, or at least not getting solid high chest hits. Review of video from the Blackhawk down incident revealed similar results with regard to the supposedly “ineffective” green tip 5.56.
The Moro’s were not just true believers. Like many of their modern counterparts in ISIL etc they were high as kites on opium etc.
That sounds like you are confusing the blokes on the ground and flag officers at the HQ? I doubt that for the blokes actually doing the shooting, following Hague convention rules on projectiles was their greatest concern...?
As for getting solid hits, correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't general the general understanding of terminal ballistics around 1964 at the point where "any hit, anywhere" was widely considered a good idea? So training did not exactly emphasize hits on high center chest (not that it does that even today, in many places)?
I ordered some of this, plus some 124-grain Magtech and Fiocchi FMJ, for chronograph purposes. The plan is to run them through my P99C (3.5"), PX4 (4") and CZ-75B (4.7"). I'm actually more interested in the 124-grain loads as softer primer alternatives to Winchester NATO-spec and S&B, especially at the prices I've seen for them.

Yes the Somalis chewed Khat and Khat is Stimulant but it is not a that strong a stimulant. Just like chewing coca leaves does not equal the effects of cocaine. Review of video from the incident shows lots of misses. Increasing hit ratios over iron sights was a driving factor in the Army adopting aim points just before the GWOT.
