Does it feed reliably, Is it reasonably accurate? How does it perform compared to the FBI test standards?

Definitely interesting. Perfectly concentric bullets are inherently more accurate. Lighter projectile may mean higher initial velocity, but will lose velocity and energy faster than heavier bullets. Wonder if they are developing rifle bullets as well? It would seem they would be somewhat like Barnes all copper bullets, though perhaps even a little longer to get the same weight. Such bullets may actually have benefits in applications like Indiana Legal 35 Remington (1.8" case), where the longer bullet helps attain similar OAL as standard cartridge. Longer bullets also can require faster rifling. Didn't see a reference to cost, but I imagine it will be a while before cost comes down to the point that such bullets are a viable choice for most shooters.

I always thought at least for a military application that someone would develop "case-less" ammunition in a hexagonal configuration to maximize magazine potential. Makes sense, the weight savings would significantly increase amount of ammo each solider could carry, easily doubling it with no added weight as a penalty.
