No, more like wrapping metal in rubber, as you had described. No need to downplay it.
It’s like getting the end of one of these lobbed at you:
Because most of them have a core of metal or other high density material and a softer exterior. It’s like wrapping a brick in a couple of layers of bubble wrap and hitting someone if the face with it.

Yeah, in a different thread there were some drawings too.
Until today, I imagined rubber projectile being something that’s just something fast but soft, perhaps something that even disintegrates on impact.
Kind of like paintball.

Well, you have to have something heavy to hold enough inertia to have a deterring impact.
How else are you supposed to suppress the growing second class citizenry? Communicate?

Look, nobody’s saying there shouldn’t be special munitions to assault and potentially maim people who have the audacity to tell you the state is doing a bad thing.
We’re just arguing about the particular construction of this tool for doing that.
