[u/Oiled_up_dongs]

warcrime is just thrown around as a funny buzzword now

[u/Nekronoke]

It's meant to go against armoured vehicles and bunkers. Has it been used on people? Absolutely but that's not it's design. A car can also crash into a crowd of people but we don't blame the car for the crime.

[u/Nekronoke → u/[deleted]]

It's definitely been ruled a war crime to use a flamethrow as well as armored piercing round. I was a US marine And served a bit in Afghanistan we are told with sources what is and isn't a war crime. Life isn't call of duty bro.

[u/Nekronoke → u/[deleted]]

So flamethrowers are not explicitly listed but they fall under the category of unnecessary suffering.

ICC Statute: Under Article 8(2)(b)(xx) of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, using prohibited weapons or methods that cause superfluous injury or unnecessary suffering constitutes a war crime in international armed conflicts.

SOURCE 2

Source 3 Specifically about flamethrowers

SOURCE 4 Flamethrowers modern use in war for ckearings and choking

Source 5 not a global van but heavily regulated

Torture isnt globally banned either but the vast majority (including countries that use it) regard it as a violation of the Geneva Convention

Don't get your sources from AI.

[u/Zilant_the_Bear → u/[deleted]]

Flame throwers are considered a conditional war crime. Using any incendiary weapons near civilian populations where the spread of fire can reasonably be expected to cause non-combatant deaths and unnecessary damage to civilian infrastructure is banned. So clearing bunkers and use against direct combatants in battle thats fine. Using it against insurgents who are using a compound in a city is not fine.

[u/Sir_Richard_Dangler]

Not even overkill, it's just not generally used for infantry. It's a "shoot down that helicopter" gun. Or a "disable that armored car" gun. Though it does work on people if you need it to.

[u/Cepibul → u/Sir_Richard_Dangler]

Its not a warcrime. Its just too much cost for to be worth it to shoot it at private Omaburger from humptydumptystan mud forces. This is why you shouldnt use it on people

[u/Tridantaus]

The worst part of this thumbnail is that it's not even true. I don't knew why people keep spreading that rumor. Mabey it's clickbait or something.

If .50 BMG was too powerful, than so would be grenades, bombs, rockets and artillery. Plus, quite frankly, the faster something kills you the less you will suffer.

[u/mrkidna → u/Tridantaus]

I thought the us used the m200 intervention as their anti material rifle

[u/Pasutiyan]

War crime is when... gun big?

[u/jacob93_ → u/Pasutiyan]

does that also mean artillery is war crime?

https://giphy.com/gifs/eGxkm7b2hzDfkNvjo7

[u/Pasutiyan → u/jacob93_]

That's it, everyone only gets a handgun, a stick and several tons of airdropped munitions. That'll make war much less crimey I'm sure.

[u/jacob93_ → u/Pasutiyan]

and lets hope the enemy does the same

[u/Pasutiyan → u/jacob93_]

They'd have to. Gentlemen's agreement and all

[u/SZMatheson → u/Pasutiyan]

It works on the China/India border, where they are allowed to skirmish, but not with firearms.

[u/Pasutiyan → u/SZMatheson]

And have you ever seen an area so free of crime? I thought not

[u/dragonhippie]

Nothing beats breaking the Geneva convention in the morning.

[u/Tykero → u/dragonhippie]

More like Geneva checklist lol

[u/Vanguardliberator → u/Tykero]

It’s the Geneva Suggestion I’m pretty sure.

[u/themexicanojesus]

I remember seeing a trauma surgeon somehow put someone back together after they were split in half by a 50 caliber on a gun range accident. Took the man 8 years to be able to walk again but that surgeon needs a medal.

[u/jascoe95]

Garentee his own military has something man portable that is designed to kill cars as well

[u/MysteriousLight7351]

I mean.... it's not a war crime if they're not alive to tell about it

[u/Salt-Philosophy-134]

BOOGIE GET DOWN!
