Isn't this the same idea if the Winchester Black Talon?

Here is another product that is meant to fragment. Got my hands on some of the muzzleloader bullets when he still produced them.

Yup ... and don't forget that the powder is 'smokeless' too! This could be the greenest way to kill somebody, yet. They're deader than dead, and not a spec of toxic pollution!

Can't wait till the 'Greenies' hear about this

Hit someone "center of mass" with a decently made bullet going at a reasonable velocity and "Chit's gonna happen"!
a 230 grain .45 ACP hard ball going about 900 FPS is enough to buckle most men of lesser stature than say, Big Ken- he might need two of 'em!!
Guys my size are no match for it, IMO.....
