Jihawg ammo
Blanka sends us a link to a Daily Mail article about Jihawg Ammo which sells pork laden ammunition to, as they put it, “Put the HAM in MoHAMmad”;
The manufacturers believe that this act will keep any Muslims shot with the bullets from going to heaven.
‘With Jihawg Ammo, you don’t just kill an Islamist terrorist, you also send him to hell.That should give would-be martyrs something to think about before they launch an attack. If it ever becomes necessary to defend yourself and those around you our ammo works on two levels,’ the company said in a press release earlier this month.
Experts disagree with the premise, though;
‘There is no penalty for coming into contact with pork given by the Quran,’ said Shannon Dunn, assistant professor of religious studies at Gonzaga University in an interview with Religion News Service.
[…]
‘To my knowledge, Muslims, especially unknowingly, would not be banned from heaven for eating or getting hit by pork. There are some interpreters who suggest that Muslims should eat pork than starve, if faced with that alternative.’
But, they’ll still be dead, right?

Gives a new spin to “the day that pigs will fly,” doesn’t it?
Bummer! Bacon…it’s not just for Muslims anymore, damn it.
Being that there are so many factions of Islam, and educational levels among its followers I’m sure that a good portion would still be scared shitless if they were told they could be contaminated by pork products.
If you get shot with this ammo, does it turn you into bacon bits?
@4-Lebben, That’s one possibility, but I prefer to think of it as being boinked by an oinker.
@4 My preference would be before they hit the ground they turn into a squealing pig, then crispy bacon bits. Now that’s an ammo round I would pay more taxes for.
My first thought was the scene in Willow. My second, I don’t think I could stop laughing after I fired this at one.
I see it as the ultimate mind fuck before they die…. To tell them that the bullet that killed them was bacon propelled
@4. It depends on the size of the bullet you are hit with. .22LR? Probably not. .50 round? I would say yes.
In the 19th century, the British Army had difficulty getting native recruits to shoot with the paper cartridges that were in use at the time, the reason being that they were covered with grease and had to be bitten before inserted into the rifle breech to fire. The Hindu recruits refused to use the cartridges because it was animal fat, and eating dead animals was against their religion. And the muslim recruits refused to do it because the rumor was that it was pork grease, which they couldn’t touch. (All true, and consolidated for your convenience.)
I suggest shipping a large order of Jihawg ammo to Syria, and advertising it. Not only will it deter the use of said ammo by the locals, it will also make the radical jihadis run away if they believe they are being shot at with Jihawg pork-covered ammo.
It’s just an idea.
Look up the Indian mutiny, something similar started that, although to be fair it really had more to do with the brits being assholes.
@10 sorry, your comment didn’t show up on my tablet until after I had posted, I guess great minds think alike!
I wonder if getting taken out by such ammo would ensure that the 72 virgins they supposedly get would be pigs. Kinda hard to tell with those women, tho what with the burkas/chadors (or whatever the hell those medieval things are called). Might make them stop and think tho!
@6. So it’s a “smart” round.
I hope when they get to Allah heaven or where ever the hell it is, they find out they are short woman virgins so they get 70 ex-Taliban who killed some innocent person or Soldier before they could ever get a piece. Heaven with Allah may be like general population in a federal prison. At least I hope so.
I can see it now. A shocked looked comes over Achmed’s face as he looks at his fellow terrorist’s forehead. There, about the size of a dime, is a red laser image of a smiling Porky Pig. Just before Achmed’s headache arrives, he sees the same image on his friend’s brain housing.
@16-AirCav, Despite you’re ID, I have a sneaking suspicion that you may have served a stint in Psyops.
9-12, it was called “the Sepoy Mutiny” I believe.
@18: it is also being called the “Indian War of Independence,” which is obviously PC felgercarb. As an avid historian and wargamer, “Indian Mutiny” does just fine, thank you very much…
Pork bullets or not, I’m pretty sure just being a Muslim terrorist is enough to earn them a place in hell.
I can’t *COUGH* confirm or deny it, but some of us 11B’s might have occasionally “accidentally” rubbed the tip of every round in their ammo belt with a strip or three of bacon from the chow hall for good luck before we escorted a convoy somewhere. (Ours had a sandwich bar 24/7) During my year there, I stripped and cleaned my weapon at least twice a week whether I’d fired it or not. I’d heard that rubbing the tip of each round in a strip of bacon before loading it into a 30 round mag would bring good luck, but *COUGH* I don’t remember right now if I did that or not!!
@21-Proud, All those unmolested virgins would be grateful to anyone who *COUGH* who contributed to their well-being. It’s a shame what old(er) age and stress does to one’s memory.
Hell, I can’t remember what I just wrote.
I get the feeling the Feds will be buying it all or suing the maker because of religious descrimination and then having the ammo destroyed as part of the settlement
@23-Instinct, I don’t believe even the Feds could claim discrimination. After all, this ammo will blow anyone away indiscriminately on an equal basis. My concern is that the hog lard doesn’t negatively affect the ballistics. If it doesn’t we’re cooking with hog fat on the back burner!!
It’s all fun and games until they start shooting your humble Jewish friends with it. But at least it makes the case that the ammunition isn’t discriminatory.
Not that we’re that worried about pig lard anyway. You wait until after your rabbi isn’t looking before you lick your fingers after loading your magazine.
if you read the article, it says the fella figured out a way to get pig fat into the PAINT on the ammo. It appears to be loaded in nicely annealed brass cases… wtf is being painted? If I won’t load a shellac-coated steel case in my guns, I’m not gonna load a shellac-coated brass case either.
