>>31597027
Never heard of it.

Exactly
Dardick Tround still holds that title
>>31597059
Precisely. Its pretty when .38 Super is more well known.
>>31597086
but i like the dardick revolver...

>The caliber that killed Osama
>>31597086
Tround has a practical purpose.
.45 GAP doesn't.
But XM645 is most meme tho
>>31597115
Never heard of such a round.
>>31597077
I was being facetious.
At least it had a market presence because of the company. There are a hundred custom pistol rounds at the turn of the 20th century that existed for one gun model and maybe had 2 years of life.

>that killed Osama
Might as well say a vaporware round.

XM645 was designed by the AAI corp as a entry to the Armys SPIW/ project SALVO program back into the 60s and 70s.
Officially"Cartridge, caliber .22, Dart, XM645", it was the standard of a small variation of different cartridges and projectiles including Long Range, AP, Tracer and a Duplex load, though I have found little providence to prove the Duplex existed.
Obviously a Flechette, it had low recoil impulse and a very high volume of fire with low mass, but was ineffective at range and suffered accuracy issues.
The hardliners of AAI and the SPIW/SALVO programme pushed it way longer than it aught to have been and is basically the reason today people think of Flechettes as part of the future of small arms.
