It has always been the preferred means of removing massed attackers from other armoured units here in Australia. It also removes all the outside bins and any attached bits 'n' pieces, not to mention that it does nothing for the paint job.
The M1028 uses Tungsten balls, it's like the hip thing on todays battlefield, expensive, but hip.
Like when the Country Club types talk about the type of Wine they drink as opposed to the type of wine everyone else drinks.
