Steel Hawk CEO John Cullen announced the recall at a press conference this morning. At Steel Hawk nothing is more important to us than the complete satisfaction of our customers when they maim or kill. Some of these defective bullets can leave an exit wound as small as a plum. That is unacceptable.

Frank Ehrman was among the hundreds of other dissatisfied customers. You know you spend good money for a hollow point bullet you expect it to explode the head in a geyser of blood and brains. You know if I wanted to kill someone without destroying the body I'd use a hammer. To address complaints like these the company is also offering discount coupons for its newest product inferno bullets bullets which start a small fire inside of someone when you shoot them. We understand that when our customers shoot a man they want to see his liquified organs pour out of every hole in his body. Give us another chance we'll give you the lung-shreddingest bullet on the market. Still the effort might not be enough for many customers. Those people over at Steel Hawk ought to be shot in the face in front of their families. Many gun owners have said the recall has been so frustrating they will no longer use bullets returning to more low tech methods like beating victims with spiked clubs or dragging them behind their cars.
