Might go back to the old 4x4x20.

I question where is person got his info from.

At close proximity the shards tear into 3 millimetre-thick aluminium, or 1 millimetre-thick steel, and mince through soft body tissue, according to researchers.

Have you ever seen a CD with 3mm thick aluminium or 1mm thick steel in them?

I would think it would take much more then a disc spinning at 52X to tear apart a 1mm thick piece of steel or 3mm thick piece of aluminium.

they are not saying that the cd turns into the aforementioned pieces.
they are saying that the cd fragments could tear through material of that type and thickness.
