Really interesting. I had no idea that there were flechette-containing bullets, and other advances shown here....

Reminds me of a reloader who loaded his shotgun shells with short nails with flattened heads.

You should have seen what it did to a ham! Waste of a good ham too!

I think some of the art were bullets that never made through testing like the three stacked in one shell. I saw that somewhere but I don’t think anything became of. Looks like scare tactics form national pornographic to me.

Hyperbole alert -- "most destructive weaponry ever created". Offhand, I'd say that there are many, many forms of weaponry that are far more destructive than rifle rounds.

And just to be picky, the cross-sections shown are those of cartridges, not bullets.

Bullets? Those look like cartridges to me. The bullet is only one of four main components.

Journalists...sheesh.
