Love the design, as long as the Govt isn't the one that deploys them. But what are the chances of that, considering it's from a govt lab? lol

On the other hand, here is a less high-tech, mechanical solution to an ammo design. Possibly one of the more evolutionary (supposedly someone else tried this before) leaps in bullet design in over a century. Behold, a compensated bullet. That's right. A machined bullet, with holes drilled into it, to act like a 'muzzle break' if you will. Great idea, by an Italian manufacturer:
