The guys from Taofledermaus took 12 large, extremely sharp X-Acto blades and loaded them into hi-brass 12gauge shotgun shells. They were hoping to see if the razors would stay intact. These are highly sharpen razor blades wrapped with industrial thread, the whole load is encased inside the 12 gauge shotgun shell.
The threads were meant to hold them in place while in flight, but in this test it didnt work out. Electrical tape was also used, but with the same result. Various targets were used for testing such as watermelon, the head of a manequin and three large cucumbers. See the full action here.

Even at muzzle velocities generated by a 12ga shell, I don’t see these projectiles doing much penetration on a human body. Superficial wounds at worst. But at point blank range...it could hurt.

Why not use a flèchette round designed for the purpose.

I think two cannon balls attached by a chain used on ships in the 1700s is scarier..

Scariest? No. Most useless? Probably.

A gimmick, but no real potential for use better than real ammo.

I like the bolos. 12ga packed with small metal balls linked with a steel cable as the name suggest. Make no mistake, a human body will suffer serious hurt if hit with them.

“Cameraman: It would certainly seem that twelve exacto blades loaded into a shotgun shell would be the most terrifying, macho, deadly, terrifying round you can imagine. But theres plenty of time-proven oldschool rounds that are very effective without gimmicky modifications. Theres never a shortage of companies trying to play on humans emotions and coming out with a lot of gimicky stuff, and the companies always give them the most terrifying names, From the Rip Ammo to the Bow Bagsto the Black Talons. Theyre almost never more effective than a traditional round, but they sure do play on peoples emotions.”

Wait until one of those makeshift rounds twists in the barrel and the barrel explodes in the shooter’s face.

One of my handloading books talks about an experimental "junkyard dog" load, in which a bundle of short lengths of welding rod are used in a .357 Magnum cartridge instead of a bullet. The author reports that it was surprisingly ineffective, but that a D.A. would probably show no mercy if you tried to use something like this for self defense.

I used to shoot those out of a 105mm cannon. Not impressed.

I watched these fired from 155s. Very good anti-personnel rounds.
