<h2>Synonyms</h2><p>none</p><h2>Armament</h2><p>Suitably chambered 12 gauge shotguns.</p><h2>Development</h2><p>By MK Ballistic Systems to provide a shotgun shell capable of penetrating lightly armoured vehicles and equipment.</p><h2>Description</h2><p>The QB-Slug is specifically designed to disable light vehicles, aircraft, boats and other matériel through the use of preformed fragmentation. The QB-Slug fires a slug containing eight hardened steel wedges similar in design to those of the QB-8 buckshot round. The wedges are carried to the target in a plastic sabot that protects the shotgun barrel and holds the wedges as a unit until the projectile penetrates the target. The QB-slug travels intact to its target, penetrates and then releases its hardened steel wedges inside. Once inside, the steel wedges cut wires and perforate or sever vital components. The spread of wedges ranges from 1,270 to 3,810 mm after penetrating the target, thus optimising the chances of destroying vital internal components. The stacked column of steel wedges acts as a single slug as it penetrates, thus providing significant penetration prior to break-up. In testing, QB-Slug rounds have penetrated 10 mm mild steel plates at angles as acute as 45º. When used as an antipersonnel round, the QB-Slug will result in eight separate wound paths in a circular pattern centered on the point of impact. Although the QB-Slug round can be fired from smoothbore shotguns, a rifled bore shotgun is recommended for use against targets at ranges greater than 50 m. The plastic shell case is international orange in colour and marked as to type in black.</p><p>UNITED STATES OF AMERICA</p><h2>Manufacturer</h2><p>MK Ballistic Systems</p><p>2702 Santa Ana Valley Road</p><p>Hollister, California 95023</p><p>USA</p><p>Tel: (+1 831) 636 15 04</p><p>Fax: (+1 831) 636 86 57</p><p>Web: http://www.mkballistics.com</p>
