Colt made an interesting handgun that instead of loading one single duplex cartridge loads two rounds into two barrels in one handgun. Great video as always I’d love to see one of those fired, and I wonder if something like that would be feasible nowadays with all the crazy firearms out there

I saw a flechette 12 gauge shotgun shell used in Vietnam. The unit I was with was suffering great losses at our S4 supply storage area. Seems the local folk were using it as their personal lumber yard, stealing our plywood and such to build their hooch's in the nearby village. So the old man decided it was time to put a stop to this pilferage, he ordered a night ambush be placed in the area where the fence had been cut. Now I don't know his thoughts on this but he ordered the troops on guard to be armed with 12 gauges loaded with these flechette rounds. Perhaps he thought they were less then lethal, but boy was he wrong. When a couple of local's made their trip to the midnight plywood store, our clerks and jerks who were pulling guard duty blasted away with their 12 gauges! The results: three kids dead, ages 12, 16 and 17. The uproar in the village nearly turned into a riot, the old man lost his job over the deal, and I got to see the results of these wondrous rounds in action. They were a bit messy despite their tiny size they really tore up those boys, of course they were dressed in their black pajamas (a common night wear among they locals at the time) so there was little to no resistance. Lots of blood; I can tell you.

If I were to hazard a guess the Flechette was likely one of the same found in M1001 40mm canister (the only high velocity anything from that 40mm platform). These are cast metal and much like the larger 2.75inch rocket version have a habit of fins breaking off causing flechettes to go rouge. This isn’t a problem when you have a load of these things shooting a 4 foot pattern at 100 yards. Today with modern alloys and CNC machining you could probably make extremely accurate darts, they would be expensive though. If they really want it to work the Army should shine the Bill Alexander beacon on a cloudy night. He and his sidekick (Lapua man) can solve any problem.
