Why the fuck is flechette ammo so expensive? It's just metal darts instead of lead balls...
>muh supply and demand
its not like metal darts are hard to manufacture

they might not be "hard" to manufacture, but they require different machines and only a few companies do produce them.

If you think that's the case, then do what a good capitalist should do. If you think you can make the same product and sell it for a lower price while still making a profit, bam, you're now an industrialist guided by the invisible hand that spotted an opportunity waiting to be seized. Go forth!

Because they're a niche item, and in this case the niche is retards, so why not hike up the price. Also fabrication equipment cost.

i remember when you could buy flechettes (although not loaded into shells) for $1/lb

>3 rounds 20 bucks
shit son, handpack it and make a fortune
>>33124358
I see em around for that much.
Is there a practical purpose for these rounds? I bet it'd be fun to shoot some at different things to see what they do, but is there a practical application?

They'd be decent against soft armor. Or if you just wanted to cause someone a lot of fucking pain.

This. Handpack and sell for $50 for a box of 20.

They're for longer range shots.
Up close, they're not too effective.
