However for some reason brain-seeking bullets were declared a war crime, while Glass-gas was apparently fine? Seems nonsensical since the point of a gun is to kill people with it, so a guaranteed-headshot-gun is literally just a more effective gun. Even the real life equivalent of the international ban on Ricin coated bullets had the excuse that ricin deaths seem slightly more visceral and horrific than regular bleeding out.
