Here's their website.

Nice. Although I'd rather get one of these 105mm handguns. Though ammo cost is a bitch.

I prefer the 155mm version:

By employing a ballistic-strength fiber in the center of each bullet, Kuchman was able to contain the three shrapnel fragments within a finite distance of 14 inches across a Y-shaped pattern. This controlled distance makes the bullet ideal for hostage rescue squads aiming to take down a perpetrator holding a hostage close, as seen in most cliche'd cop movies.

This is utter crap BS. What shooter in their right mind would trust a bullet with a 14" spread to hit a perp and not a closely held hostage. BS and more BS.

The writer knows nothing of which he writes.

“This controlled distance makes the bullet ideal for hostage rescue squads aiming to take down a perpetrator holding a hostage close, as seen in most cliche’d cop movies.”

The author of the article doesn't know the first thing about guns, ammo or ballistics. This is obvious by his confusion between the different designation of ammunition. He confuses MM with caliber (as in 9mm Vs. .45ACP). Thus he thinks this ammunition is 45mm. I expect he is also confusing a couple of tidbits of things he's read and heard regarding this or any other ammunition. The statement above obviously makes no sense at all to knowledgeable folks.

"And this has been tried before."

It was a called Triton, and it was advertised as being invented by the guy that invented Hydroshock. The company didn't last too long. I think that I still have a box.

So no kick at all; and you need tweezers and some REALLY steady hands to load it...

Sorry, missed the dot. .45mm is about the diameter of a pinhead. I guess they meant .45 inches. Why are journalists so damn incompetent?

[Tenacious 1]

LOL! That's 1.771 inches in diameter. I bet it kicks!

Incorrect. But I see where you missed the the decimal point before the "45mm" part.

.45mm = < 1/2 mm. It would be almost half as wide as a fingernail is thick. LOL. Good luck trying to load that ammo in a clip. Now we should find a "handgun" to shoot it.

[matthew fuller]

Actually, Triton was not supposed to separate until it hit the target.

[OneWingedShark]

Why are journalists so damn incompetent?

Because if they were competent they might write actual news stories, and actual [truthful] news is deadly to our political caste.
At least that's my theory.

but rather a .45mm handgun-type ammunition

That's some seriously small ammo.

Interesting. After a quick search, it looks like armor piercing ammo for handguns is (somewhat) illegal. Armor piercing ammo for long guns is a-ok. Guess that’s why I’ve never had a problem finding it.

Thanks,
I always learned sumting,

A question of legality inevitably arises when dealing with the sale and manufacturing of a new kind of deadly weapon, especially one that advertises itself as being.

I'm guessing English is not the writer's first language.

[WayneS]

Well, chances of hitting both are certainly increased.

“Another total dunce reporting out of his element”

100%.

[WayneS]

.45mm is actually about 0.02 inches. VERY small.

[WayneS]

“Zen and the Art of Marksmanship”

[Carriage Hill]

Yep, 14” on each side of centerpoint slug = 28” spread. Can’t hardly miss hitting everything with those numbers. Why bother to even practice? Just close your eyes and SHOOT!

[WayneS]

Do you think Lee will make dies for slugs that small?

[TalonDJ]

Yeah I thought that line blew the authors credibility away.
