50 BMG Squeeze bore round

[50 CalChas]

Here is a cut away of a Spotter tracer and US 50 Cal Squeeze bore round. The squeeze bore was an experiment to up the fire rate of a 50 machine gun. Five copper projectials were loaded into a round and then with a special barrel the 50 slugs were squeezed into 5 30cal rounds for use against personel. Used in Viet Man and droped.

do you know if this actually worked as i would have thought that the slugs are so close together they would form just a single copper slug


sorry forgot to say Nice cutaway
