Slug? Or powder suspended in a matrix of wax?

The article was modified to say the payload was a slug of zinc. I read that the round's payload was metallic powder suspended in a matrix of wax. I find that more reasonable to think powder would lose velocity and become much less dangerous that to think a slug, no matter how deformed would become less dangerous. -- Geo Swan 04:03, 6 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

hinges or lock mechanism?

the article suggests both, though on TV i've seen only the "hinge method" Mang 03:53, 11 August 2006 (UTC)AS SEEN ON TV! LOL Come on, is this even a discussion. I can tell you we use Breaching Rounds exclusively on lock mechanisms. Not knocking any other method, it is just our "departments" policy. 75.17.194.240 (talk) 04:57, 11 December 2009 (UTC)JOE[reply]
