I know they've been used in explosives and as weapons in general since World war one (dropped from bi-planes, capable of penetrating helmets with ease), though I was curious about the effectiveness of Fleechets when weaponised into a projectile? Ie, the 12 gauge buggers they appearently tested back in Vietnam with 20 one inch nails with fins in a canister.
Brutal.
So, my question pertains to their usage with pistols, rifles, and other weapons of the sort. A single fleechet was known to lose it's rigidity upon striking the target and hook in a direction, as well as the fin section usually breaking off to plow a secondary trail of destruction through it's victim. I can't imagine them being incredibly complex in terms of generating mass quantities...and I can only imagine them being far more stable than your average projectile (though I have no extensive knowlege concerning ballistics).
Has anyone attempted to weaponise them before? Any luck in doing so?
