Has there ever been a firearm that employs miniature ordinance

A .50 cal

Certain fuze/warhead combinations offer variable penetration settings.

Attaching, waiting, and detonating looks cool, but detonating on impact is far more practical and reliable.

While true that round obliterates anything it's pointed at I was looking for something more controlled. You made me lol though

You are correct and in a combat situation even more so. But I am more interested in the engineering aspect and was wondering if it had become before.

It is called hallowed point dumbass

When it penetrates it becomes shrapnel

There's that WW2 explosive ammo.

Look up videos of it on youtube.

Actually he's talking about the HE options for .50 bmg you occasionally see at like a gun show.

Kind of a grey zone because not really available to public and said explosive amount is under the legal limit but only just.

It was done in the American civil war. The original idea was the bullet exploded before the target making more projectiles. Then the war was fought at closer range than anticipated. This led to bullets exploding inside soldiers. Which was then abandoned because even in the midst of one of the bloodiest conflicts in history the average moral compass considered this too much. The quote was something like "its bad enough to shoot a man, but to blow him up after is unseemly".

Fast forward a few generations... this thread. Dont forget potasium buckshot too.

We all ain't being raised right.

Didn't Hinckley Jr. shoot Reagan with exploding .22 bullets?
