It starts out super concentrated and spreads out at a 35-45 degree angle from the end of the gun tube and becomes less concentrated the further out it gets. There's a chance it wouldn't hit somebody a hundred meters out but anybody left would get hit with the coaxial mounted machine gun.
Say about the Ukrainians what you want, but their knack for turning stuff into utterly nonsensical murder machines is genuinely impressive. Have an atronomically fuck-off huge shotgun is bound to leave a dent in the enemy's morale.

"hundreds of 2000 tungsten balls"
I feel like I either had a stroke, or this is some military jargon I'm not familiar with.

Nah, you're not crazy. This round has 2048 ball bearings in it that are effective out to 300 meters.

Ah, they must weigh less than 90kg

But does it mean that you cant fine tune your aim? Is there a chance someone right infront of the barrel isnt hit?

I was thinking 2000g (i.e. 2kg) balls, unless 2000 is a descriptor of a particular type of tungsten.

Just like 00 and 000 are shot size indicators too, I also thought that

This is in fact a NATO standard cartridge that someone had to sign off on shipping to Ukraine

Idk if it can hurt MBTs, but troops and their carriers? Easily.
I'd like to see a demonstration of how this exact thing works but I don't know how to google it.

Def not mbt but certainly a clusterfuck of infantry somewhere over in some foliage within 300m, bretty good
