      There's plastic in it, so the geneva suggestions would circumvent any serious deployment of this thing. Y know, all the "undetectable by x-ray" really doesn't allign with the "not causing unnecessary suffering" part of the affirmentioned agreement. Also the rods are optimal, bc they are better for penetration than little balls, bc they have more mass for the same air resistance. unfortunately that means collateral damage, which is also not ideal. What point in making a slug so deadly, if everyday normal slugs are pretty deadly already, while being much better at only hitting what you actually want to.

    I've been watching for a decade. Since you guys stuck flint on the tip of bullets. While I wouldn't say this is the absolute most destructive round you've tested, this is the most consistent, straight flying, and mutilating round. It's the combo of all of that, which makes this a truly threatening round.
    I would love to see these go into production. These are truly gnarly. I think the 50yd shit really shows how truly impressive it is. A grazing shot still being a kill shot is something you would have to see to beleive.

    0:33 I wonder; just to reduce cost, you could substitute the 19 SS rods w/ the same number of carbon steel rods cut from old steel wire cloths hangers? Then encapsulate w/ the epoxy(?) to the extent that the bare steel doesn't come in contact w/ air that could cause oxidation if the corrosion resistant coating is damaged. A round like this would certainly shred venison, like the water jug.
