If you're actually certain that you're hitting only a concentration of enemy troops... then it's pretty good because those steel pellets will go straight through somebody and out the other side and through somebody else.

So they won't be able to say, 'Ah, I was bearing a Koran over my heart and guess what, the missile stopped halfway through. View quote
