"The effect will be similar to that of a diver’s ‘band stick’."

Can you explain that? I have no idea what a band stick is,

Oopsie! My bad. It is a typo - is should be “bang stick, not ‘band stick’.

A bang stick is a short barrel, sealed at both ends to keep water out, and mounted on either a stick or rather rarely, on a spear.

On contact with the target, a bullet is discharged into the target, causing a wound channel. The hot gases then open up the wound channel. A .223 bang stick can disable or kill a 10 foot hammerhead shark because of the tissue damage caused by the hot gases.
