: Interesting. Thanx
: OK. Misunderstanding here. With the explosive load I meant the powder. What
: you describe as a flechette (breaks apart into fragments after
: penetrating) is valid for M16 bullets or similar modern assault rifle ammo
: as well. So, what's the difference between a flechette and a bullet?
: I think a flechette is a dart-like projectile, long, thin and pointed.
: A SMG is by definition an automatic weapon firing pistol ammo ( 9mm para/.45
: ACP). Can a gun firing flechettes be called a SMG?
Why couldent it be? Granted, I'm no expert, but couldn't a Sub Machine Gun chamber flechettes, as long as the caliber is right?
