Radically Invasive Projectile

[Ordguy]

Has anyone seen and or used any of this ammo? http://g2rip.com/
Was browsing comparing prices on 380 & 9mm and found this. Neat youtube vids on their website. The info on the 9mm includes these tidbits;

* 14-16" Penetration
* Up to 6" diameter spread
* 96 gr projectile
* 2" grouping at 25 yrds
* 1265 FPS
* 9 Separate Wound Channels
* Precision Machined
* Solid Copper / Lead Free
* Defeats all known barriers such as sheet metal, sheet rock, windshields, plywood, heavy winter clothing

Yeah. Mostly hype. And very expensive. The round has been hammered in several publications and gun forums. Including this one, I think. 2 major problems have been reported: Unreliable feeding in semi-autos, and overstating the penetration by quite a bit. There's some independent ballistic testing of these on the net/youtube that contradicts the company hype.

I've seen a lot of "the latest-greatest" magic bullets come and go.
For this one to do all that it claims to do, it'd have to defy the laws of physics....and besides that, getting a .380 pop gun to launch a 96 grn bullet @ 1285 FPS without exceeding SAMMI presures aint going to happen.

So no, I'm not a believer.
