If the frags spread 14” in 3 directions, isn’t that going to hit the hostage and the perp? Okay, I didn’t read the article, yet...

Yea, I don’t see any point to this ammo at all, except maybe to deplete SWAT team gadget money.

Yep. All 3 sub-munitions hit within a 14” diameter circle, but the center of that circle is pulled every which way by the wobbling scoops on the ends of the strings.

If you're going for a hostage taker with the victim held close, you want pin point accuracy with the round on the hostage taker, not the hostage. Something that spreads uncontrollably is the last damn thing you want your sniper using. The round probably isn't bad in a .45Auto in a close quarters confrontation. You don't usually get that luxury with a hostage taker.

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 cliched 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.
Another total dunce reporting out of his element

Well, chances of hitting both are certainly increased.

Yeah I thought that line blew the authors credibility away.

If the frags spread 14 in 3 directions, isnt that going to hit the hostage and the perp? That was my first thought. But the article calls the casing a "shell" so I don't know how accurate it is. Last time I looked .45s shot cartridges not shells.
