Flechettes are DEADLY... The 155mm version, as I recall, held 15,000 of them and generally all flechette rounds are known as "beehive" rounds. Buddy of mine used to order flechette rounds for his 870 shotgun.

As part of the effort, which is being run out of Boeing’s Phantom Works advanced research and development facility in Seattle, the company is trying to solicit the services of a Russian scientist who claims he has developed anti-gravity devices.
