    “hundreds of 2000 tungsten balls”

    I feel like I either had a stroke, or this is some military jargon I’m not familiar with.

      Nah, you’re not crazy. This round has 2048 ball bearings in it that are effective out to 300 meters.

        But does it mean that you cant fine tune your aim? Is there a chance someone right infront of the barrel isnt hit?

          It starts out super concentrated and spreads out at a 35-45 degree angle from the end of the gun tube and becomes less concentrated the further out it gets. There’s a chance it wouldn’t hit somebody a hundred meters out but anybody left would get hit with the coaxial mounted machine gun.
