wow....
This video shows what must be the world’s largest shotgun shell: the 120mm canister round designed for the cannon of an M1 Abrams tank. The 50 pound shell contains 1150 .40 caliber tungsten pellets launched at 4500 fps, with an effective range of 500 yards

I was in the military and got to see and shoot a lot of cool guns. I could not see the need for this. It will do some damage to a person but what else would you use it for?

1 shot with 1150 .40 cal rounds going downrange can wipe out a large advance of infantry . . . .
just my .02. i have no background in this, just thinking outloud.
taking unsafe rigs to a whole other level
because it would do some dammage to 30 persons..
or a large number of civillian vehicles.
or a multitude of other effective things.

wow i agree with the having these... just think if you could get this close to enemy lines (maybe by remote control) and having it go off... lets just say itll do the job!!
the future is a mystery, the past is history, today is a gift and thats why it is called the present
hmm ever wonder how the govn't feeds all them soldiers... perhaps they take this out Duck hunting...
i imagine with 1150 bullets, you could kill a lot of birds!
just dont let dick cheney use it otherwise there will be alot of people digging shot out of their faces.....

That is badass! 4500 fps is faster than any rifle cartrige you can buy. It is the modern equivalent of grapeshot.
That is sweet...

The energy of a single .223 bullet = 1282 foot pounds.
The energy of a single AK-47 round = 1552 foot pounds.
The energy of a 12-gauge shotgun slug = 2739 foot pounds.
The energy of one .40 caliber projectile (apx. 165 grain weight) traveling at 4500 fps = 7419 foot pounds. That M1 shell is firing 1150 of them... at a dispersal of about 30 yards diameter a hundred yards downrange.
Wow.
