I have a few questions.

Do you know if these are still in production, or has this been shelved?

Do you know if any police or military unit ever fired these in a combat situation, not just testing? If so, what were the results?

How do you think these rounds could work in real world situations, not like on the Discovery channel documentaries or in movies?

1. They have never been in production: each round was a hand-built prototype. I left the company at least 11 years ago, so I don’t know their current status. I do know that it was a privately owned Brit company that screwed over the guy that hired me - so I quit back then.

2. While I was with them, we demonstrated them to the army and the Marine Corps battle labs but no police organizations I was aware of.

3. If they get confirmed as safe under military specs, they would be extremely useful for military applications - particularly urban combat. They are really effective at opening doors at long distances.
