Flechette Ammunition is a special type of ammunition that uses small pointed steel projectiles that act like small darts. Flechettes consist of a pointed steel head, a long and vaned tail for stable flight. Flechettes can be used in a single round as a discarding sabot, or they can be grouped together in artillery weapons or shotgun rounds for anti-personnel use. Flechette ammunition can also be modified to deliver a chemical dose to a target. The use of flechettes is limited due to the lack of effective use as a replacement ammunition due to the need for a sabot for a shot. Flechettes are very effective in tank shell groupings as they offer second to none penetration in urban warfare environments.

Battlefield 2142Edit

In Battlefield 2142, the Clark 15B shotgun and Park 52 Sniper Rifle use flechette ammunition. Ammunition for BF2142 weapons is not changeable.

"Flechette rounds have increased penetration ability but a reduced damage potential compared to buckshot." — Battlelog descriptionIn Battlefield 3, Flechette Ammunition is the first unlockable ammunition type for shotguns (except the M26 MASS, for which it is the third). The rounds are stated to have increased penetration capabilities for shotguns, allowing a user to easily penetrate light cover and even other players. Though inflicting less close-range damage than 12 Gauge Buckshot, it inflicts more damage at longer ranges due to its decreased spread and lower dropoff.

Flechette ammunition is a special pre-order bonus that is a part of the "Physical Warfare Pack", a special offer to those who live in the United Kingdom, Germany, Australia, and the United States. It is available for use in the exclusive DAO-12 shotgun that comes as a bonus in the pack as well (a Day 1 unlock, not an exclusive unlike the Type 88 LMG or Flash Suppressor). This ammunition will be unlockable and can be used in other shotguns, but those who are fortunate enough to have this bonus will have it from the start online
