Crazy stuff. I'd love to actually see the damage done as well though.

Holy fucking shit. Did you say 10 megajoules??????

According to this engineering page a 1000kg car travelling at 90km/h has only 320,000 joules of kinetic energy. So this tiny flechette has 30 times more energy than that???? AND that's only a third of its capacity?? FUUUUCK!
