In fact, these bullets haven't exploded, expanded, of flattened within human body, since they were designed to explode right on impact. Haague convention did not apply.His first explosive bullet was invented in 1902 but New Zealand army experts, although impressed, did nothing about it. Disappointed, Pomeroy left for Australia and later England where, as early as August 1914, he submitted his design to the British War Office. After an initial rebuttal, Pomeroy was recalled from Melbourne to develop his idea. On 2 September 1916 Pomeroy's bullets, together with new Brock ammunition, first proved their effectiveness against the growing menace of the German Zeppelin. After the war the British government granted Pomeroy £25,000 in royalties and reputedly offered him a knighthood which he refused.
