Ahem ... they are dead!Tell that to the 26 people who lost their lives at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Pretty clever if it actually works. I'm guessing they'll mostly try and market the non-lethal version.
Advanced Ballistics Concepts has designed a bullet that immediately expands once it exits the tip of a rifled barrel that it plans to display in Las Vegas next week at the 2014 SHOT Show.
Called the Mi-Bullet, the round acts somewhat like a multi-pellet buckshot, but the separate fragments of the round are connected and will expand to a pre-determined diameter after the bullet is fired. The Mi-Bullet expands to a diameter of 14 inches when fired from handguns and 24 inches from shotguns.

Ya I was thinking something along those lines. The penetration would definitely suffer, that's why I'm guessing they'll probably market the non lethal version most.Looks like a high-tech version of a "bolo" shotgun round, which has been around for awhile and is little more than a gimmick. Penetration of this round will be extremely poor; the total mass of the projectile is being divided into thirds while at the same time the total surface area is being multiplied by thirds. To put it another way...if I were to throw a 1 lb. rock at you as hard as I could from a distance of 10 feet, it would hurt you pretty badly when it hit. But, if I threw 1 lb of sand at you from the same distance...it wouldnt hurt you at all.
In my opinion keeping your kids away from firearms instead of educating them about firearms is a mistake. What happens if they visit a family members house or afriends house where their are firearms present? Educate you kids on firearms. Explain to your kids how to respect a firearm.
