DSG Technology “Supercavitating” Underwater Ammo

    When I tell you that the ammunition produced by DSG Technology has a range of 12-14 meters, you’ll probably cock your head and wonder if I’ve been hitting the bottle too much. But underwater, that short distance is very significant – standard ammunition is lucky enough to travel only 2-3 meters, let alone be lethal that at those distances. DSG has developed projectiles that cause supercavitation that creates a void in the water in front of the bullet in travels.

    The ammunition, which is currently undergoing government testing, comes in a variety of calibers, requires no modification to the host weapons and can be used purely underwater, from underwater to air and from air to underwater.

    Obviously the applications are somewhat limited, but I’d love to get my hands on a case some day for “testing”. Invasive carp beware.
