siminov 164 Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Definitely cool. It said potential customers were military, police, and recreational shooters. I doubt I'll ever get to buy em (like I could afford em) but still pretty cool. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChileRelleno 7,071 Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Major potential for total badassery... I can't see them letting us have them though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scott Kenny 144 Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Too bad it needs a smooth-bore barrel and is too long to be chambered in a conventional shotgun. Actually, one big-bore gun manufacturer (GIAT?) has made an APFSDS round for the 105mm gun that spins the sabot but not the dart, so you could see something like this in 25mm like the XM25.

gunfun 3,931 Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 I think if you can paint a target with a laser, most of us can already paint it with lead. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scott Kenny 144 Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 1000+ yards is a bit outside my abilities as a shooter, to be honest. But this guided round might finally give us a use for those exotic shotgun bore slug guns! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
