A buddy of mine turned me on to this. This new bullet is BAD ASS!

Wonder how long it'll take until they scream "COP KILLER!!" and ban 'em...

pretty interesting, would be something when they get it to work and see what it does to a pig

Seems they spent more time making a CGI movie then actually trying to make it work.

I don't think so for several reasons.
-The centripetal force on the fragments, wires and center hub will be huge. Getting the system to not fly apart is a major challenge.
-Once those three fragments deploy they are horribly non-aerodynamic, it looks to me like aero forces will send them in completely random directions.
-If the thing stays together, the random aerodynamics will have it spinning like a bolo. It seems likely that the axis of spin will shift and which way it shifts is probably not predictable.
-Aerodynamic drag will also slow these things down considerably. An airplane propellor running slow acts like a brake, this will too.
-It will make a whizzing noise like a ricochet.

From what I understand, this product has been in the making for 2 years an they just finalized his patent.

Interesting concept, but I see limited applications. Using a less than lethal round for home defense would be foolish for a number of reasons. LTL rounds would have some limited application in law enforcement, but for those situations, I don't see any great advantage over beanbag or rubber buckshot rounds. We'll see, I could be wrong....

Looks slow and clumsy. Good luck hitting a moving target and pray to God you don't have to ever make some sort of precision shot involving a hostage and all you have loaded up is your dumb lasso bullets.

interesting but I will stick with my HP's and ballistic tips.

[Elhuero]

looks like a gimmick

I'll stick with my Extreme Shock Tungsten-Nytrilium Fragmentable Explosive Entry Fang Face Round
