At a distance of 75 meters the Beehive shell detonates and sends 8,000 of these steel darts screaming downrange towards the enemy. Each steel flechette is roughly an inch long and weighs 8 grains or so, and upon impact they bend into a hook shape, with the finned tail section often breaking off to start a second wound channel. At close range the high velocity of the flechettes made the M546 extremely lethal; it was described as the world's largest shotgun round. Legend has it that after the Beehives were used to repulse an attack, the enemy dead were often found in the field of fire with their hands nailed down to the wooden stocks of their rifles. .APP ....200 IN THIS PACKAGE...... NOTE: selling these flechettes as a piece of historic militaria only, and I do not recommend that you try to load them.
