Just from looking at it, I bet it costs over $25 per round.

Now THAT is a home/neighboorhood defense round.

Imagine a speedfeed stock full of those...

"Hm...there's a burglar outside the window. Do I go with birdshot, buckshot, or HE? Margret, can you check to see if he's wearing body armor?"

I like the ability to give the shotgun a little punch.
But, I prefer the XM109 25mm Payload Rifle for the majority of similar uses.

A M203 round arms a lot further out. Something like 14 meters IIRC

I'm betting that the proportion of distance to volume of HE is about the same

Look at that casing. Do you want to be 10 feet away when it blows?

That would be a great anit-per. round too.  I wonder what it would do to a level III vest?

Yes, but 12 gauge is cheap enough to be issued en-masse, what else is, any soldier can get his hands on a 12ga (I'm sure getting issued a few of those rounds wouldn't be a problem if they start producing them en-masse), unlike a 25mm special-purpose rifle and ammo.

These frag-12s are going to cost a small fortune by the looks of them, 25mm is by far cheaper.

That's just a protorype. I'd bet a mass-produced version would be very much stamped. I was thinking with looks like those of a scaled-down 2.75-inch FFAR (with the little fins stuffed into the shell-casing, in the powder).

I want to see a gel test.  Bet the wound channel is impressive, although I doubt this round will merely wound anyone it hits.

Think AMMOMAN will have factory seconds?

Really?
1.  The article mentions detonation of mines and improvised explosives.  Spot on for the XM109.   That's one of the reasons it was developed.
2.  Disabling of a vehicle engine?  I'd rather have the XM109.

However, I already agreed that adding punch to cheap and very common weapon (shotgun) is a good idea.
