I don't know if this is one for the draftroom or not (I probably shouldn't design it, if feasable, as I have no experience): Canister rounds for tanks and AT gun artillery. What do y'all think?

Already done.

Last paragraph is the most relevant.

Ok. I didn't know if canister was still used in modern militaries as the only place I've ever heard it used in context of tanks was in a sci-fi book Watch on the Rhine. But that has maneating aliens, so I didn't know how much as based on fact and how much on fiction.

Sounds like an interesting book, reminds me of Turtledove's Worldwar series. =\

It's by John Ringo. Its pretty neat. I highly recommend it (like you need book recommendations from me).
