Bang List: What's your opinion of 12-gauge Flechettes?
SABOT DESIGNS LLC ^
Posted on 09/19/2004 10:45:45 AM PDT by SlickWillard
What do you thing of this ammunition?
Is it stable? Accurate? Lethal?
If you were PD/SWAT/Special Forces, would you use this ammunition in an "urban" anti-terrorism situation? [Assume your orders are something like "Maximize terrorist deaths while minimizing civilian deaths."]
Or are flechettes just a lot of fancy-schmantzy marketing gibberish?
Whether they're useful or not, they're certainly expensive. For instance, a single round of Federal 000 magnums [10 balls per shot] costs about $0.75:

Whereas a single round of Flechette Sabots [19 flechettes per shot] costs about $2.00: http://www.antipersonnel.net/sdllc/006.html
So: Any thoughts about this ammunition? Thanks!

Man, I love these posts.
BUMP AND PUT ME ON THE PING LIST PLEASE
I think Sabots, though expensive, seem pretty sweet and I'd use them.

The balls cost $0.075 each while the flechettes cost $0.105 each. Each 12-Ga flechette round has about twice as many projectiles.

Did you know you posted this to the culture/society and conservatism/constitution forums? Imagine what freerepublic would be like if 100,000 freepers absued posting discipline just like you did. It'd be an unreadable mess. Good luck with your shotgun question.
