What you are looking at is the evolution of the round that shoots around corners , otherwise known as the OICW. Objective Individual Combat weapon . Google for more info.
Back in the 90s my crew developed this weapon . It was classified top secret back then and was way ahead of the times . I had to remove tooling and download my programs at the end of each day , and all machining was done behind screens even though we were in a secret lab . Funny thing is , Popular Science ran an article on our gun before it was de-classified . I found that to be quite humorous ! Anyways , I held onto these as conversation pieces for potential customers . The warheads are tungsten 20mm grenades , they are caseless ammo and they are inert . Some have gone downrange . I machined these on a Hardinge HLV-H , Leblonde Makino Count 15 CNC lathe and Prototrac equipped Bridgeport mill . They are in need of a new desk to rest on . They make for great conversation and are cool to throw at your annoying bosses !!! I would love to pass these on to another gun nut for $50 but I am open to any offers if interested ! SPOKEN FOR
