An old boss/friend of mine quipped “Yeah - having a bad memory sucks. On the other hand, my wife is going to let me hide my own Easter eggs this year!”

The funny part was, he could remember scientific details from projects he had done 50 years ago!

Don’t they also have a flechette round for use in tanks?

Because some dummy wants to get 100yds out of a shotgun?

No value to me whatsoever.

In Nam the Army had both 90mm and 105mm beehive rounds the 105mm contained approximately 8000 flachettes. Not sure how many were in the 90mm.
Both rounds were used extensively at Dak To and were very effective.
Yes, there was a beehive round for the Abrams with the 105mm, not sure about the 120mm though.

Do what the cops do—use a slug.

A lot of grandpas used a similar line when referring to their waning sexual prowess - “I’m not as good as I once was, but I’m as good once as I ever was.”

Tested by YouTuber Taofledermaus, and they were garbage.


Obtained much better results rolling my own using finishing nails......
