High Tech Bullet
 

Came across this article today.. thought it was interesting enough to post up here. I think I'm gonna buy some.

Wonder how much ACP rounds will be?.......Ca-ching!

Probably. But the idea of my wife (a novice shooter) being able to reliably hit a target (intruder) during a break in while I'm not there far outweighs the cost of a few bullets. Plus, while I'm sure they cost more than a normal shell, they have to be priced competitively or people won't buy them. :head:

Ok, found their website and the price. http://www.mibullet.com/index.html A box of 45ACP has a M.S.R.P. of $60.00; but most dealers are selling it competitively at a Street Price of $49.99. A box of 12ga Mi-billets has a M.S.R.P. of $35.00 but most dealers are selling it competitively at a Street Price of $29.99. Still pricey, but less expensive than one would expect. What they don't say on their site is how many are in a box.

Unfortunately for me, 9mm shells are not available yet, however they say they will be on the shelves by the first quarter of 2014.

Yea if its a box of 20, and it probably aint, they arent that far from Critical Defense rounds. But all the same, you crack one 45 round in a 15x15 room and dont hit the guy I doubt he's gonna be around for the second shot!!!!!

I think I'm gonna have to take the other side on this one.

While increasing hit probability they are also multiplying miss probability by 300%..... Missing leads to collateral damage and accidentally hitting the wrong person.
Imagine killing the assailant and two hostages with one shot.

I feel for the plight of the housewife with bad aim but maybe the better solution would be practice.

Just my .02

They don't increase the miss ratio because there is a wire between the pieces of the bullet. It will also only expand to a specific size so it will be less likely to loose a pellet like a load of buckshot.

I still think the best thing to have in the house is a dog. Burgulars typically walk right over to your neighbor's house when they see any signs of a dog.

If they do get by my dog they are going to have a bad day. My wife made me promise that I wouldn't shoot anyone in the head or chest. I am supposed to aim for the groin!

As I understood it that "wire" is a kevlar thread and I believe it is only strong enough to control the flight path/pattern ... I believe it would instantly snap if one projectile hit a body and the others missed it allowing them to continue to additional hit points

btw... G-22 has hollow points in it... guaranteed bad day there too

I have a dog.....He's good for letting my know when to grab the gun but thats about it.

I was about to fall asleep one night and heard a crash downstairs. It made me 10x more nervous when the dogs wouldnt go down with me to see what it was. Ended up being one of the larger fish in my big aquarium crashin on some bait and spilled about 3gals of water out of the top....kinda funny after the fact
