16. Bullets
Left: HK DM11 Penetrator Ultimate Combat, a German cartridge, designed for the MP7 firearm, this bullet can penetrate the NATO CRISAT target at more than 300 meters. It is designed to minimize weight and recoil while increasing penetration of body armor. It features a bottlenecked case and a pointed, steel-core, brass-jacketed bullet.
Center: 5.56mm XM216 Flechette, a bullet designed specifically for the Special Purpose Individual Weapon (SPIW) needlegun, which fires a small fin-stabilized metal dart. The purpose of this gun and ammo was to eventually replace the military’s M16 (an idea had around the 90s), since it was lighter weight and had less recoil (being that it just shot a litter arrow), however, this plan never manifested. Interestingly, the name of the bullet ‘Fletchette’ is actually French for ‘little arrow.
Right: 7.62/.220 Salvo Squeezebore projectile, a triplex bullet which, when fired, are separated by compression into three separate projectiles in a circular dispersion, increasing hit probability. Projectiles were designed to be lethal to at least 400m and disperse in a pattern that would ensure at least one hit on a man-sized target at 400m.
