Beehive revisited

The XM1028 120mm Canister Tank Cartridge; it contains over a thousand 10mm tungsten balls; fired from the smoothbore main gun of the M1 tank, they leave the container and spread out as soon as they exit the muzzle. The round is designed to be effective against "soft" targets (read: people, unarmored vehicles, etc.) at 500 to 700 meters. It's intended to take out enemies hiding behind inadequate cover, clear opponents climbing on friendly armored vehicles (sweeping them off like a broom - the balls won't penetrate the armor, so the crew inside will be safe), or bring down light structures through massive damage to the walls and roof.

Rico says twelve gauge? See ya and raise ya...
