Morning. The following was posted over on military.com. I was curious if any of you guys would be able to answer the questions posed or comment on it. If you consider it an OPSEC violation or just a dumb ass thing to discuss please feel free to flame my stupidity and disregard.

I've brought this up before, but I was wondering if it's legal for the US military to manufacture RPG rockets and ammunitions that would explode once fired.
I've voiced this idea on other boards about making these munitions and allowing them to be stolen by the Iraqi insurgents.
With a little luck the rockets and ammo would get distributed around Iraq before the terrorist and rebels figured out what they've got. When they decide to fire an RPG at our guys--BOOM! The rocket explodes instantly instead of going down range. The same for any rounds. Instead of firing, the AK round explodes in the chamber ruining the weapon and leaving the attacker defenseless.
Does this go against the rules of war? If not why aren't we doing it?

Thanks for any light y'all might be able to shed.
