Would this even be legal to carry? And the videos are horrible!
You manufacture this stuff by the ton and sell it at an inflated price courtesy of "drooling" mall ninjas,
and free publicity from the MSM.By the time people go back to Golden Sabers (or similar) you've already made a bundle.

Bullets are already lethal, especially if they are well placed. This bullet looks like it would be a big hit among the bangers and casual shooters who want 'the best' and think gear is a replacement for practice.
Not painted black and still in production decades later? They should be so lucky. Winchester Ranger Ts are what I carry.
96 grains at 1265 fps equals 341 foot-pounds of energy, not 490. So right off the bat this sounds like a farce. Also, there are a number of lighter bullet offerings making wild claims like this that are unproven in the real world. If it was a large energy dump round, and could really penetrate 16 inches of ballistic gel, then maybe it would be something new, but so far the claims and numbers don't add up.
The wife claims that she saw a price of over $2 per round.
don' t flechette rounds have a projectile within the projectile? I don't think this is the same? Do you have a pic of some? I still want some LOL
You can buy the flechetts to reload at Sportsmansguide.com .
I will say they were really effective when fired from a 5" howitzer at point blank range.
I don't agree this new round is like them. The concept of multiple wound channels is impressive, but the original M-16 that used a 1-12 twist was designed to make the bullet unstable , and the lack of crimp of the copper jacket at the base allowed the bullet to yaw, and get separation from the jacket/lead core creating multiple wound channels as well. Accuracy at any distance with the .55 grain suffered, and the twist was changed to the 1-8 in the early 70's that stabilized the .55 grain FMJ in use at the time.
The only thing I see is possible feeding issues with the big HP.
What about?
