Ever heard of Aero-Spike?

I hadn't

Though it looks like a sabot tank round, it isn't a sabot round. Now if the brass part was made of plastic and fell away, sending the .30 cal bullet down range, then it would be like a 120mm APDS round.

As it is, it's not a very aerodynamic shape.

It seems the days of tacticool ammo aren't over.

It would be better just to mill some Minie-ball type slugs from brass or bronze, as it would be a better aerodynamic shape.

When I read the title I was all "Yeah...what about them?"

Then i saw the video was from TFM and thdough "New and improved rocket-gyro rounds?"

Nope...not the Aero-spike I was thinking of at all...
