libs Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 I was reading about shot sizes and came across Flechette carts for shotguns. I was wondering if, due to their length and flights (like darts), they would produce better patterns at longer ranges, ideal for fox maybe? I presume there would be many more than 5 in a cart, but would they be legal in the UK? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flechette - For anyone unsure as to what flechette is ( as I was 10 mins ago ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auto culto Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 that's a good point. These were originally designed for jungle warfare as they cut through foliage a treat. But are they legal ? They contain around 20 darts so that would potentially make it legal for UK regs but I'd bet my back teeth you cant buy them unless you have a military contract to do so. They are a bit old hat now as armour piercing and H.E rounds are now the favourites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
