A "Killer-Cop" bullet...

More silly ammo that doesn’t work very well but is sure to be used by the anti-gun crowd.

“thereby increasing hit probability”

They should probably reword that to “increasing hit probability to a vital organ”, or something along those lines.

Neat, and scary.

great now they can kill your dog and the neighbors dogs on both sides with on one shot

I have some custom ammunition that has no fewer than NINE projectiles per shell. I can’t tell any more about it due to security considerations, but the box has “00” written on it.

“This controlled distance makes the bullet ideal for hostage rescue squads aiming to take down a perpetrator holding a hostage close, as seen in most cliche’d cop movies.”

If the frags spread 14” in 3 directions, isn’t that going to hit the hostage and the perp? Okay, I didn’t read the article, yet...

I can recall someone (not me of course) purchasing 12 Ga “bolo rounds” at the Pomona, CA show. Lead balls connected with some sort of cable.

Also, .45 ammo with three stacked slugs in each, two discs and one 155 gr semiwad, for a total of 225 gr. It made 3 holes in the paper.

This round looks similar but the overall concept is much slicker. Wonder what it sounds like.

Count the mistakes in this article— there are many.

Recoil is a bitch. Can you believe companies are manufacturing deadly ammunition? Unreal.

[meadsjn]

I’ll bet yours is less than $5.00 per round; maybe one fifth that cost.

Increases hit probability....what a concept....

Maximum no. of persons shot....1....based on probability

[SampleMan]

Yea, I don’t see any point to this ammo at all, except maybe to deplete SWAT team gadget money.

Yep. All 3 sub-munitions hit within a 14” diameter circle, but the center of that circle is pulled every which way by the wobbling scoops on the ends of the strings.

Technically speaking, any type of ammunition is legal in the United States so long as it's not armor piercing, according to Earl Griffith, firearms technology expert for the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms

I call BS. Even AP, APT, and APIT .50 BMG rounds are legal for purchase.

Multiple projectile loads have been around for a long time and have never been very successful. Usually accuracy suffers greatly and the smaller projectiles have limited penetration ability especially through clothes, or windshields. Stick with modern single projectile expanding loads. They are more effective and cheaper as well.

useful in the war on dogs and drugs.

.45mm handgun ????

LOL! That's 1.771 inches in diameter. I bet it kicks!

".45mm "

What???? Wait... 0.45mm... Bull#$%#!

I believe the author meant a segmented 45 caliber... but I could be wrong.

And this has been tried before.

he separation physics is very sensitive to things like minute differences in mass of the facets, wind, perturbations from the sabot separation process and for various other reasons doesn't work well in live fire.
