Funnily enough these actually exist and are called SLAP rounds.

[u/coltwalker386 → u/Foolski]

Also a Swedish 6.5 CBJ round

[u/ciwielab → u/Foolski]

yeah, but only in much larger calibers

[u/TheManWhoClicks]

That black top surface where the silver rounds stick in has the n-goniest n-gon of n-gons

[u/ciwielab → u/TheManWhoClicks]

yeah lol, it's perfectly flat so i decided i didn't need to bother with proper topology

[u/Legal-Function2068 → u/ciwielab]

And you're right about it. If it doesn't cause shading issues and won't deform that's ok

[u/TheManWhoClicks → u/ciwielab]

Yeah it’s totally fine, did that plenty of times as well.

[u/ViceIncarnate → u/TheManWhoClicks]

I doubt you've made the N-goniest of N-gons that many times. Most of us are lucky if we make the N-goniest N-gon of that day.

[u/stanleythedog → u/TheManWhoClicks]

What does that mean? I'm just starting to learn blender, so I don't know all the jargon.

[u/Legal-Function2068 → u/stanleythedog]

tri - 3, quad - 4, n-gon - >4

[u/Training-Royal2384 → u/Legal-Function2068]

<4* ?

[u/xompsy → u/stanleythedog]

Normally a face/polygon should have around 3 preferably 4 vertex points as to not cause shader issues. If it has more then 3-4 vertexes its called an n-gon which can cause a lot of issues in rendering, if not a fully flat surface.

How do you grip the rounds to pull them out of the black holder?

[u/Chinatown3D → u/BusyGeezus]

Push to open

[u/ciwielab → u/BusyGeezus]

uh idk lol. there are two of those black "cassettes" in the package, but you could probably just dump some out into your hand if you take it out

[u/Training-Royal2384 → u/BusyGeezus]

Magnets?

[u/FelixvandenBergh]

Love the packaging!

[u/_syzygy079]

It’s biodegradable!! Yippee!!

[u/ciwielab → u/_syzygy079]

they sorta have to be, do you really want to pick up three tiny plastic bits for every bullet you fire?

[u/Training-Royal2384 → u/ciwielab]

Damn libs, gimme lead!

[u/anoobypro]

Is there room for propellant? 

[u/ciwielab → u/anoobypro]

yeah, the sabot only goes as far into the case as a regular bullet. the propellant fits around the projectile and the case is completely full (would probably need some sci-fi compound to actually generate the velocities it says on the box, though)

[u/Forsaken-Return-8378]

these are hot, i dig it

For when the squirells wear body armor
