The Tank Cartridge, 120mm, Canister, XM1028, is a tank round comprised of 1150 (est.) tungsten balls, which are expelled upon muzzle exit. There is no fuse on this round. While the dispersion pattern increases with range as the velocity of the balls decreases, the dense tungsten balls are used to minimize the velocity fall-off. This program responds to the USFK urgency of need signed by the CINC in Dec '99. RAPT Initiative Funding to be used for 6.0M in FY02 to accelerate development by one year earlier than previously planned.

That is badass..

Wipe out a crap load of people with one of those... lol... imagine shooting that into a parking lot? Mass destruction!

Those are great. One of the uses of that round is when sister tank is overrun by people...you shoot it with this round. It won't penetrate the armor but will scrub off anything crawling all over it.

Would be awesome to go pheasant hunting, guaranteed to not miss...

 

Amazing video non the less
