check out this piece of hardware.
At a previous job, I worked with an engineer who used to work for Alliant. He worked on the fuse for the OICW "bullet". A very interesting technical challenge, to say the least.

He said he saw the OICW test fired at a couple of dummies situated behind a protective barrier. They programmed the bullets to burst just beyond the barrier. According to him, the results were... quite gruesome.
