During the Vietnam War the US experimented with tiny kinetic missiles dropped from low flying aircraft. Each weighed around an ounce I believe and was conical shaped. After one run an officer surveying damage said it looked like the ground was tenderized. Also one of the projectiles entered the next of a solider and exited out his groin.

If they were made of steel they could clean up the scene with a big magnet. I wonder why this never caught on. I suppose they are pretty heavy.

Look up "Lazy Dog"(bomb) on Wikipedia. I may still have a couple that I got from a surplus store when I was a kid.
