US Army develops the round so that it can be safely fired in cities.
Then the article goes on about that ridiculous non lethal gun attachment thing for some reason. “journalism”

However, it retains enough blunt force to knock someone over and deliver severe, debilitating pain, and travels up to 250 feet per second (when propelled by a 9mm slug) and sends ‘a shock wave of pain through the suspect’ when it hits, Ellis said.
And yet somehow firing it doesn’t knock the shooter over, because f!=ma, I guess?

“Currently, funding for the project has ceased.”
Well, that settles that.
I suspect it’s an explosive anti-personnel round under some-or-another Geneva or Hague accord anyway. Or would be, minutes after we committed to it.
On that other thing, we’re sure to be seeing a whole Popular Scientific American Mechanix worth of “Ferguson rounds” in the near future. Turns out, politics really *is* bean bag. For certain calibers of bean bag.

That orange thing is the stupidest idea I’ve seen in awhile.

Somebody’s going to get double-tapped with one of those.
What’s it do that that nifty Russian electrically fired pepperbox doesn’t? Other than revert to regular bullets after shot #1?

What happens if the round “self-destructs” while it’s inside you?

Liberal hysteria. Same as those terrible “Black Talon” bullets of a few years ago.

Unless, of course, mkl, the “you” in whom it “self-destructs”, is not someone on the Leftist “good guy” lists…

Bill: The same thing as if a normal lead .50BMG round hits you, without exploding.
You die, because you just got shot with a .50BMG.

“pyrotechnically actuated disassembling limited range .50 caliber bullet”
Say that real fast three times and it sounds just like “small grenade.”

the ignited reactive material transforms the projectile into an ‘aerodynamically unstable object’.
Read: “We have no fucking clue where it’s headed after that.”
One pic checkpoint for the stupid orange thing you stick on your gun “in a lethal force situation” says, “No obstruction to the gun or it’s performance”.
Unless of course you want to use your front sight that’s now buried under a bunch of politically correct bullshit.

Another translation from “Contractese” to English:
“A proof of concept test was perfected and results indicated the need for concept refinement and pyrotechnic mix improvement,’ Kim said.”
It didn’t work very often, though we were able to put enough of them together to show to someone.
