Well more or less the exact same concept is already used as an anti-personnel weapon. You fill a bomb with explosives and bolts for example, and detonate. Same thing without the flare-ended arrows, but the spread is much wider.

Yes, but don't the current ones designed as AP weapons (both military and... well, non-military) tend to have a smaller number of actual projectiles in them? It seemed coverage was more of an issue with the one in the article. (They're both going to be eminently lethal, to be sure).

I'm not sure if they have a smaller number of packed projectiles, but remember that their casings are designed to be instant shrapnel, too.

It would be an interesting challenge to come up with a mine-defusing system that was inexpensive, effective, and could be used in a populated area (where unexploded ordinance are often the greatest problem.)
