You're right, they would make a wonderful addition to ShadowRun, and
yes, they do exist -- Flair has a catalog that lists them.
Flair, do you still have that catalog? I think the list price was about
$2.50 a bullet. (That may be a bit high, but it's still pretty absurd.)

Flair, can you check the catalog and correct me on that? I think the
price alone is a good reason not to use the, considering that I have
yet to meet a critter that can't be destroyed when sufficient normal
ammo is thrown at it. (Well, except for those damn UB thingies!!! As
the groups Technomancer, I HATE bugs!)
