The ammunition is legal, it's just a reminder the dangerous new threats police officers constantly face. It depends where you live. It was legal in one state I lived it, but not in another that I moved to. Of course, it was legal for the military and police to have it. Big fear was that it might penetrate a protective vest. Not sure if it was ever tested...

Boy are you right! Remember that shootout after the bank robbery in LA? All those construction workers and landscapers rushing to face down the thugs with body armor and AKs. Hell, they had to knock over the QuickMart clerks and fishermen just to get a piece of the action. And during the 1992 LA riots you had Korean convenience store owners on top of their businesses with rifles holding off the mobs, after the cops were seen on TV running away like frightened schoolgirls
We could have used a few of those storeowners in NYC during the Crown Heights riots, when the NYC police dutifully obeyed Mayor Dinkins desire for them to show "restraint" towards the rioters

A three-dart bullet would only impart 1/3 of the total energy on each dart. Why would such a dart have superior penetrating ability as compared to a single bullet carrying the total energy of the powder charge? The flechette is a hard, sharp steel dart, imparting its penetrating energy into a very tiny area.

Yep, cops follow orders as does the military. That doesn’t mean they liked it.

A little off subject but I hate the term “Homeland”. It make me think of apartheid and Nazi’s.
When you start seeing cities like Atlanta naming departments “Homeland Security” you know it’s just pure BS. Orwell would love Bush.

After reading your post I believe there may be hope for FR yet, as someone else said “I like the way you think”.

Thanks. Sometimes I feel like I’m about to be overrun by the enemy even on this forum.

"
This ammo has been around since the early 1960s! If you reload .12 Guage, just fill it with finishing nails instead of lead shot."Please read the article. It is not about shotgun shells. It mentions .40 caliber handgun rounds, but no shotgun-pistols or anything of the sort.

If you reload .12 Guage, just fill it with finishing nails instead of lead shot.I don't doubt it's effective but I shudder to think what it does to the inside of the barrel.

Thanks!. It appears that New Yorkers (and who but a New Yorker would blatantly play the 911 card even in his/her handle) just dont get it.

I started phoning and writing my congress critter to go after the country responsible. I am completely disabled. I am on oxygen and heavy medications form wounds and other injuries I received in Vietnam as our LZ was overrun. I also stumble along with a cane and the aid of my wife.
My wife and I also help two mothers who have a husband in Iraq with their finances. That’s what we do.

make it sharp and pointy and it’ll cut better, but it’ll lose the blunt trauma impact.
