WTF?!?!? This entire article makes no sense!

.45 x .03937 = .0177"
Oops, 1mm is not .03937 exactly. It’s pretty close though. 1 inch IS exactly 25.4 mm. 1 mm is .039370078742 inch approx.
I can’t make too much sense out of the author’s lousy writing, either.
Here’s your fully automatic Glock, but it’s not a revolver-

Take some bird-shot shotgun loads. Cut them open and mix the shot pellets with melted paraffin wax and put them back. One hole in the front and kablooie inside.

Yup. And I can see one those cast iron rounds on the shelf. One shot, one kill.
You mean it "make sno cents" right? Obviously you know nothing about guns. LOL

Illegal in California...
Well, it gets you to millionths of an inch... 70/1,000,000.
Sorry, but it works the other way. A diameter that is less than half a millimeter (i.e. .45 mm) is hypodermic syringe territory. A .45 caliber (0.45 inch diameter) bullet (what this idiot reporter meant to refer to) is the equivalent of 11.4 mm.
ridiculous interpretation of short barrel shotgun
.45mm handgun ????
The earliest example I know of comes from the days of warships with sails and black-powder cannon. Two cannon balls joined by a length of chain were fired into another vessel's sails These would cut ropes, entangle all sorts of rigging, and possibly bring down masts.
I reckon that 2.7 could be what Col. Cooper dubbed a mousegun, har!

As I understand, this was often done with two cannons, not two balls in one cannon. I imagine a misfire or late fire on one could have disastrous effects.
Boom! ?
I’d rather put a .230 grn JHP from a 45 into a villain or a full slug from a 12 gauge or 8 gauge.
Seeks ineffective and completely hazardous in a that”hostage” situation.
All effective and acceptable outcomes are largely due accurate fire and a round appropriate for the job.
“Always shoot a large man with a large caliber bullet”.
How much momentum is bled off the round? It looks like it would be considerable. I think this is probably a gimmick for folks who don’t understand simple physics.
