I have something quite a bit like that dart round that JSR suggested. The only differences are that it has 2 part discarding sabots in 3 places along it's length, it substitutes a long hollow tail for fins, it's made for 4" bore, filled with concrete and a rebar core, and weighs 8 pounds

You can substitute a low density or hollow tail for the fins if they're a bit too much work to put together. I'm putting together quite an arsenal for when spring comes, and making tails for flechettes is a real b*tch. You may actually be better off just making a 3 piece (two sides, and a back piece) discarding sabot for throwing darts. They fly quite well. If you want to make it interesting, you could use a cannister round filled with a few of them, like this:

Christ on a steeeck DYI! that's one video I want to see

remind me why you even need darts in the front when your ammo weighs 8lbs? i think the dart is weaker than most of the things you can shoot through with a 8lb slug...
looks nice and like above, gimi that vid!

Because coolness points really do count.

The 8lb ammo and the dart sabot illustrated are two different projectiles...

Dear God this so makes me want to move into the middle of nowhere, where I can spud to my heart's content, with guns actually big enough to fire that. ^^
