I'm fairly certain 24 pellets of 00 buck is going to do more damage then 18 rounds of .22.
I'm guessing that the "beehive" round is actually a "pepper pot" which has barrels for each of the 18 .22lr rounds. Seems like that would be more expensive and less lethal then the buckshot round.
There is also a variant of the buckshot round with fewer larger 'rubber balls' that is a less lethal crowd control round.

Do you happen to know the designation of this round? I keep hearing about it but nobody can give me a designator number. I suspect it is one of the newer rounds that have come out since the M320 was adopted (because it can handle longer and higher pressure rounds than the M79 and M203).
