ref post 4242 dillo .whats the small grey one on the left,,is it rubber
 
it's silicon foam coated with graphite for
barrel lubrication. This is an experimental
round made in Germany.
 
so was the proposed idea to help lubricate the barrel in combat situations ,instead of stopping to clean the barel you put one of these through and carry on fighting
 
no it was developed for Urban Crowd control.
Most of the recent experiments on 40mm munitions
are based on non- or less lethal.

These munitions are going to be obsolete in several
years. The 40mm projectile fits into the eye socket
and is thereby lethal! Several recent accidents are
the reason for this change.
 
should leave them as they are ,,soon control the crowds if they knew they could get hurt or worse(my opinion not BOCNs)
