>>30214209
Only if you signed the article prohibiting them

>>30214209
Who says you use it on people? You shoot it at MG nests, bunkers, vehicles, etc. If people happen to be in there, whatever.

I have never seen any proof of those being used in combat outside one single mention of the M202 in a leaked military supply catalogue.

It wasn't when these were used in WW1 and WW2. It's main use is as a bunker busting tool. When fired into and enclosed space it has a tendency to kill via carbon monoxide poisoning whoever doesn't just straight up get barbecued.

Only in inhabited areas. Incendiaries are still a-ok antipers weapons when used away from civvies and civvy property. I believe this is covered under the COCCW and one of the 1974(? maybe 1972?) addenda to the Geneva
