The OP didn't ask for something better at penetrating armor, though.

Firing 8 projectiles .33" across that have miniaturized course-correcting features seems pointless. Why not fire one projectile with much better course correction? Recently, a .50 caliber projectile was successfully tested that can change direction once. A shotgun load of three correct-once flechettes would be vastly more technically feasible and effective than homing buckshot.
