The issue with the military is that they adhere to the Hague Convention IV Respecting the Laws and Customs of War on Land of 18 October 1907, which prohibits the employment of "arms, projectiles, or material of a nature to cause superfluous injury."

Wich means that they cant use expanding or fragmentable rounds. Dont ask me how a holowpoint or a fragmentable would cause superfluous injury over a solid FMJ?

Giving that fact using a .45 makes a heck of alot more sense than a 9mm anyday.
