Nasty piece of work

Interesting from an experimental point of view, but probably should be reserved exclusively for use against Iran's Revolutionary Guards.

  1. I saw that earlier and had no desire for that round.
    It's just needlessly cruel.
    It's only to just really eff up one person's body.
    But yeah, there are some jihadi groups I could see that would be improved by the application of these.
    Put them in an AA-12 for maximum effect.

  2. Applying "micro scything" to jihadists would only be justice.

    Anyone else -- needless cruelty. And I truly appreciate flechette rounds and Claymore mines.

  3. The ballistics are interesting. The initial cavity it blew open in the gel was extremely impressive. If there's anything to the idea of hydrostatic shock, that, alone, would have been devastating.

    1. I'm thinking of the little cables that would spread throughout the body, becoming impossible to get all of them out if you survived the shot.
      I too was going to mention how I'd like some flechette rounds, but that's just cruel.

    2. I did see fleshette shotgun rounds for sale; another bad one would be to use a shotgun shell with incindiary magnesium or the one from watching MASH was the Phosphorous munition; I saw someone makes a shotgun pistol too.

    3. There are all kinds of crazy shells out there, including some that are incendiary. Probably not too practical, but interesting.
