If the cables stay attached you wouldn't need a ton of penetration. It would be more of a "slashing" round than a "stabbing" one.
The problem is that it is string, not cable. If it doesn't detach, it will cease the penetration of the projectiles when the string catches on bone.

Also, the flutter aspect means velocity will be lost VERY quickly.

The light weight and large size of the projectiles means penetration will be very shallow. The keyhole impact means the projectiles will enter the body in the least penetrative manner possible.

This "new round" to me is just a bunch of "hype" - there is no short cut for practice and training . . . however, I suppose it may have possibilities for pheasant hunting up close?
Sure, you could bolo their legs and catch them live that way!

LOL!
That's pretty funny actually.

It's also not real far off the other wild claims made for this junk .
