	Full metal jacket bullet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A full metal jacket bullet (or FMJ) is a bullet that is encased in a copper-coated steel or gilding metal jacket.
		The jacket prevents deformation of the bullet in the barrel or feed mechanism due to dirt, overpressures, or damage outside the gun, and thus reduces misfires.
		FMJ ammunition was introduced ostensibly for humanitarian reasons, as the Hague Convention of 1899 prohibits the use of expanding or fragmenting bullets in warfare.

	Full Metal Jacket (1987): Reviews
		Elliptical, full of subtle inner rhymes...and profoundly moving, this is the most tightly crafted Kubrick film since "Dr. Strangelove," as well as the most horrific; the first section alone accomplishes most of what "The Shining" failed to do.
		But Full Metal Jacket is uncertain where to go, and the movie's climax, which Kubrick obviously intends to be a mighty moral revelation, seems phoned in from earlier war pictures.
		Full Metal Jacket can not be compared to any movie of its era.

		The Toronto Globe and Mail's Jay Scott once bestowed Stanley Kubrick's "Full Metal Jacket" with the title of "greatest war film ever made," a proclamation that, even during a time when "Schindler's List" had not yet come to fruition, suggested either an act of bravery or one of lunacy on the part of the writer.
		This is a movie about mentality and dehumanization rather than any varying degree of bloodshed, and that alone makes it more interesting (and important) than a standard war film that requires characters to shoot at enemies and duck behind obstacles in hopes of escaping injury or death.
		They are the real full metal jackets here, and the guns are simply their physical outlets.
