Slug? Or powder suspended in a matrix of wax?[edit]

The article was modified to say the payload was a slug of zinc. I read that the round's payload was metallic powder suspended in a matrix of wax. I find that more reasonable to think powder would lose velocity and become much less dangerous that to think a slug, no matter how deformed would become less dangerous. -- Geo Swan 04:03, 6 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

hinges or lock mechanism?[edit]

the article suggests both, though on TV i've seen only the "hinge method" Mang 03:53, 11 August 2006 (UTC)AS SEEN ON TV! LOL Come on, is this even a discussion. I can tell you we use Breaching Rounds exclusively on lock mechanisms. Not knocking any other method, it is just our "departments" policy. 75.17.194.240 (talk) 04:57, 11 December 2009 (UTC)JOE[reply]

Citation URL problem[edit]

Deleted citation 5 (Clucas MoE pdf) because it was kicking back a phishing site warning from Trend Micro. Rengewwj (talk) 22:47, 8 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Other uses[edit]

The Met Police also seem to use hatton rounds to stop cars by puncturing tyres. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-sussex-24859800 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-24876409 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.106.84.220 (talk) 07:32, 9 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Firequest Example[edit]

Regarding the firequest example, they are one of several companies that manufacture this type of ammunition for sale to the general public; as well, the inclusion of where to purchase the ammo leads me to believe that particular example may have been added as a form of advertisement 24.113.197.71 (talk) 09:46, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
