Flechettes
{
A flechette or flèchette ( fle-SHET) is a pointed, fin-stabilized steel projectile. The name comes from French flèchette (from \flèche), meaning "little arrow" or "dart", and sometimes retains the grave accent in English: flèchette. They have been used as ballistic weapons since World War I. Delivery systems and methods of launching flechettes vary, from a single shot, to thousands in a single explosive round. The use of flechettes as antipersonnel weapons has been controversial; however in war is not prohibited by the Hague Convention.
