 I was surfing the site that had the strange Navy SEAL guns and I found this: Unlike with the previous AAI design, the Colt ACR could be fired with standard 5.56 NATO ball and or the 5.56 Duplex cartridge that had been developed between Colt and Olin. The same brass case as used on the 5.56 rounds were used for either load to help prevent any possible loading and jamming problems. With their duplex load two rounds were stacked atop each other in the shell, each could be considered to be a miniature steel slug. The whole concept behind the design was that hit probability could be increased if there were two rounds on target at the same time. This however does not mean both will strike the same impact spot, the second round due to air drag will undoubtedly hit within the same vicinity as the first. Unlike with the flechette rounds the Duplex rounds were developed to hit targets outwards of 325 meters. Does anyone have more information on the duplex round or if it actually exists at all? I know there is a shotgun round that has two slugs but this would be nice for a rifle. |

I found it but I would like to know if anyone else makes this in different calibers. I really want to see this in .223. www.doubletapammo.com/php/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=21_25&products_id=42 EDIT: Beat me... |
