No, it ain't a high-wire circus act....This is a sweet piece of ordnance...instead of shrapnel this bomb fires KNIVES at it's intended target. We've used various forms of "flechettes" including a round fired from the "Thumper" shotgun/mortar M-79. It was useful in heavy vegetation and the enemy was terrified of it. They just got some al-Qaida goat-fucker with one... :thup:

multiple steel blades that emerge from the missile moments before impact," Behnam Ben Taleblu, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) told Fox News. "The result is a much smaller kill radius, which can limit the damage caused by the missile to the intended target area.

Compared to the traditional Hellfire, which ignites a potent blast, leaves a mangled mess in its wake and runs the risk of killing others within a 700-foot radius, the new modification is considered to be quite the advancement with a 100 percent deadly danger zone of 30 inches.
