Got any more specific on that one? I do know of a 2"75 rocket warhead
that works just like that (the WDU4/A) but, if I'm not mistaken, that
was for anti personnel use. Can't remember exactly, but there are two
versions: one with some 4000 small flechettes and another one with way
less, but off course lot bigger flechettes.

and lively as ever. Looks like I need to order some new stuff though,
