A 12 Gauge Frag round is designed to burst on impact, littering the target area with shrapnel. Frag rounds are currently being considered for military use.

Battlefield 3

The 12 Gauge Frag round is an advanced ammunition type used for shotguns in Battlefield 3. It increases Suppression, but also decreases accuracy and stopping power. The frag rounds actually combust on impact, causing a grouping of several small explosions on target. In Multiplayer, this not only suppresses the enemy, but also leaves the opposing player in disarray as they believe they are under Mortar or Tank fire. The addition of slight splash damage makes these rounds very effective for suppressing and killing grouped enemies, or enemies popping in and out of cover.

Two direct hits from frag rounds will kill an enemy in Normal mode at any range.

It should be noted,since the frag rounds cause a small burst on impact,they can also kill the player if they shot on the ground or a wall close to them,if it do so,they will die after 3 shots at full health and the game will consider as suicide

The December 6 2011 patch reduced the damage done by 12g Frag ammo when fired from semi-automatic shotguns.
