The bullets spread to a diameter of 14 inches for handguns and 24 inches for long guns. The fiber itself, which is spooled up inside the core of the slug, slices paper targets to ribbons, but does only "superficial" damage to flesh, Kuchman said.

They're intended for self defense, says Kuchman. Multiple impact bullets improve the accuracy of nervous, would-be victims with unsteady hands by giving them several chances to hit their target with just one shot. The company uses slogans such as, "Because you can't afford to miss" and "First hit advantage is everything!"

2. "Intended for self-defense"

Well, that's a huge relief. For a minute there I was worried the ammo might be used during crimes or that innocent kids might get hit in accidental shootings.

3. The gun and ammo manufacturer

death merchants continue to fuel the American arms race, and profit from the blood of gun violence victims. Second Amendment absolutists must be so proud that they now have an improved method of summary execution.
