Folks,
Maybe everyone has seen this already, but it was new to me.
I just got my latest copy of the Cheaper Than Dirt! catalog and I noticed an interesting item on page 3. "DRT 9mm ammunition - One of a kind!" it said. One-of-a-kind is right. Each round of this ammunition supposedly contains fine powder instead of solid lead, and each round spins at a rate of 160,000 RPM when fired (from a conventional weapon, I suppose).
A round will supposedly not penetrate a house cat, but will go through steel plate and leave a hole "that looks like a cutting torch was used". The powder core automatically "finds its center" while spinning, unlike a lead bullet. Wounds are typically 5" x 5" with full 100% energy dissipation.
The item description sort of goes on and on...pretty funny stuff. At least, I thought it was funny. I thought it was maybe fake, kind of like Games Magazine used to do..."find the fake ad" and all of that (does anybody but me remember that?). What do you guys think? Is this ammo for real? For Pete's sake, its got hot chicks on the box!
