#2 Ooooh! "Beehive" rounds. Nasty.

Saw a tank take out a bunker with one of those, many moons ago. Not much left of the occupants.

Hell of a mess.

Pretty much the same principle when the explosives are packed with nails.

#6 Something I forgot to point out: Paleos want Israel to be barred from using beehive rounds, yet nothing is said about Paleo murder-bombers using nails in their explosive packs for the same effect.
