    Fun fact this concept was used heavily by the US during Vietnam. They made 2.75inch FFAR rockets that held between 1200-3000 flechettes (this is a direct quote from the declassified document) “the rocket holding enough nails to build a country style house with garage”. They were used to pepper the VC and NVA that were hiding underneath the treetops when the explosive warheads would just hit the treetops and explode leaving the enemy below unharmed. They also made a 155mm shell version for artillery and a tank shell version, these were called “beehive shells” that could up to 12000 flechettes. It is one of the coolest weapons you can go look up.

      They were supposed to be dropped ar 500m, as they goal wasn't to kill, but to injure, as an injured soldier is much more of a pain in the ass as a dead one. But due to the planes recieveing rifle fire, they were forced to fly at more than 1800m.

    The US used a similar weapon during the Vietnam War, the only difference being that the flechettes were released from a bombshell.

      In WWI they stopped using flechettes because bombs were deemed immensely more versatile and effective 😂 flechette shotgun rounds were slightly more accurate than buckshot but took more to make and the difference was so small they dropped the round, it's never been that effective

    For those confused, not a war crime, people think flechettes are a war crime because there were some made coated with an anticoagulant (stops your blood from clotting) which was considered a chemical weapon and "cruel and unusual" Flechettes are still used, often shot out of rockets or artillery. (They sometimes use an anti-rust coating which may or may not stop blood clotting)

    They were also used in a prototype when NATO was trialing intermediate cartridge based rifles, with a focus on recoil and light armor penetration. The flechette cartridge may have been the same one that was either case-less or paper/plastic case.
