(10,201 posts)1. The bullet is still in development. So no one is making anything for this bullet yet.
2. There is no cartridge for it, so you cannot even contemplate a magazine for it. If you look at the picture of the bullet in the CBS article, the tail end looks like it was created for a muzzle loader. So as of now a magazine is out of the question.
3. Furthermore in the article it mentions the use of sabots to create a gas seal in the rifle. This further backs up my theory of it being a muzzle loaded projectile.
4. I explained how it would not be practical for shooting the bogey man behind the tree. Unless that bogey man is probably 1000 meters or so away, and you have a friend nearby to point the laser for you.
5. So far no one is whining about anything.
FYI, the most practical weapon I can think of for this projectile is a muzzle loader, or an old flintlock.
