Exotic Ammo

Apparently there's some kind of fancypants new bullet being shown at SHOT show

I'd embed the youtube video here but the blogger thing for doing it isn't working, and I don't feel like bothering with doing it manually, just click the link.

Basically it's a bullet cut into three parts, that spin out from the rifling and are held together by wires to a central shaft. The reasoning is to give a shotgun like spread that never spreads too far, and doesn't need much distance to reach its spread. I'll have to see some ballistics tests before I'm convinced.
