Description
You fire once. You miss, and the shape is gone. Now imagine that single pull of the trigger had sent two bullets instead of one, spreading apart on purpose, covering the ground your aim could not.
That round was real. The Army built it, printed it in a field manual, and shipped it to Vietnam. This is the M198 duplex round: the secret 1952 study that said a rifleman's aim barely mattered, Project SALVO, how two bullets were engineered to spread on purpose, the most decorated soldier of the war who actually fired it, a live-fire test on original 1964 rounds, and why the Army quietly buried it. It was never secret and never banned, whatever the internet says. Every claim sourced.

📕 THE BOOK MENTIONED IN THIS VIDEO
THE SOG FILES: THE WAR MACV-SOG WAS NOT ALLOWED TO TELL YOU ABOUT
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The one man documented firing this round in combat, Robert Howard, ran missions with MACV-SOG, the secret unit that crossed borders that officially did not exist. That is the war we put in the book.
The SOG Files is the documented history of America's secret war across the fence: the missions that were denied, the deniable weapons, the gear, the six-man team that vanished after a two-word radio call, and the famous SOG "facts" that turn out to be myths. Every number carries its source, so you can go check us.

Buying it for a father or grandfather who was over there? That is the most common reason people do.
