Then what are plastic bullets and baton rounds for?
This discussion is about the actions of the live ammunition response team who responded to the London attacks. I was discussing where the shots are aimed, not what type of ammunition was used, as that's what the person I was quoting was talking about. Plastic bullets and baton rounds are formally called 'less-lethal' rounds, not non lethal. Anything fired will always be fired at center of mass, whether they are lethal rounds or less lethal.
