   My son told me about this gun. It was quite heavy, but he chose to take them into the field as an Army Air Assault Combat Team Leader. There were occasions where his position was attacked by the Taliban. They used this gun to repel the attack. The anti-personnel round they carried consisted of nails with wings. After a skirmish they would inspect the battlefield. They found Taliban Fighters nailed to trees.

   The projectiles are called flechettes.

   They sound like they would hurt.
