Shotgun bullets were exposed through which underwater targets could be eliminated • The company's science officer revealed: "Bullets have been sold to various governments around the world" but declined to elaborate further

The United States military and other countries have recently tested new and sophisticated ammunition capable of allowing commando fighters, such as a 13-gun submarine. By creating tapered balls that produce a gas bubble, they are able to move quickly in the water and hit the targets most deadly.
Regular pills become completely useless in water. Experiments have previously shown that a machine gun ball capable of moving very quickly slows to a complete stop as it passes through dense materials such as water. In contrast, the new "CAV-X" ball produces a small air balloon with gas, which allows it to pass through the water. Because the ball itself is protected by the surrounding air, it is not blocked by the water.
The DSG technology presented to the U.S. military and foreign armies is capable of allowing firearms operating in the water to fire at targets in or out of water. This means that commando fighters can fire at or inside targets without being detected. In addition, the unique ammunition can be fired from a helicopter at underwater targets. One of the sites reported that the bullets were developed to match existing weapons.
The US Army Special Operations Command's press officer confirmed to security sites that it was examining the use of such ammunition, but did not elaborate on such companies and others. Odd Leonardsen, the company's chief science officer, revealed that the bullets were sold to governments around the world, but did not specify where. He also said the same countries are testing the bullets by firing them from a helicopter into the water "and other experiments where I am not sharing".
According to the various publications, these bullets, with a caliber of 0.550, are capable of moving 60 feet underwater, and can move two inches of steel from 17 feet away. This, the Business Insider website says, could be used to penetrate the submarine.
