I'd like to know what Tony Williams and others here think of this idea. Was it an evolutionary dead end? Or might we still see some variation of this idea implemented?Dead end, IMO. Hard target penetration was rather poor for use as general purpose ball. And IIRC, there were stability issues with the very high L/D projectiles.
