Looks like the projectiles in Ian Hogs book for the USAS 12. Except without the explosive tip.

Visible yawing of the projectile in the slow motion views demonstrates a problem they have not solved, unless all shooting is to be at less than 7 yards, in which case a comparison against simple buckshot or slugs might be in order.

They would work much better in a sabot and rifled barrel. Jack.

Or a CG that was in the front of the round? That way you get the shuttle cock effect? Maybe drill and fill with lead?

Meh, the reality is that 12 guage is the answer to a lot of problems and there are already rounds for most issues.

Could totally get into some PETN tipped rounds or something with an explosive penetrator. Or give it a few years and I bet we will see a self correcting guided 12 guage load. You simply cant beat the heavy launch capability of the round.

What these experimenters don’t get is that the reason a rifled shotgun slug flies straight is because most of it’s weight is in the nose and the rest of the lead forms a short thin skirt. It’s the ‘shuttlecock’ effect.

The slight spin it gets from the grooves is enough to stabilize a short slug

A long solid projectile will not stabilize from a smooth bore without rifling to give it a fast spin.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
