So I was browsing online looking at random stuff when I ran into this

Guy claims he got them from legit channels. Was this ever avail to the civilian market? At $60 a pop that's a lot of $! He's already sold a few as well.

The multipurpose name is based on the projectile having an armor-piercing (tungsten core), an explosive, and an incendiary component, thus making it capable of penetrating lightly armored targets and causing damage to personnel inside the target after penetration.

uhh... I totally want. However, I doubt that is legal in CA. I may be though and would be happy to be wrong.

And if they were CA legal that's still a lot of $ per trigger squeezed

They aren't. And yes, $60 a pop is pretty expensive, although there are other cartridges that can cost a bit as well. For example, here's an auction that sold for $571, for 6 gyrojet rockets. That's $95 a shot for a cartridge that you could probably stop by holding your finger in front of the muzzle. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...Item=442898983

We had them in Afghanistan, along with a handful of SLAP rounds, never did get to shoot any of them though, missed out on playing with the Carl Gustov as well sadly.

You didn't miss anything by not shooting the CG if it is at all like the M67.

Illegal here because there's crap in the bullet which burns.

I do have a SLAP round on my desk to look at, but i can never fire it out of my single shot (SLAP + muzzle brake = catastrophe).
