12ga Shotgun DISCO Slug (of the '70's future) We test it!

Tim Hamilton is back creating imaginative and complex 12ga. slugs. This unusual design was more of a demonstration of the versatility of the 5-axis milling machine than a design for a practical slug. But we like weird stuff travelling at supersonic speeds!

I imagine the reason it does so much damage is because of the air inside the slug, essentially creating a small explosion as it collapses... Imagine what it would do inside of a person? Not to mention the fragmentation after hitting bone et cetera.
