The R.I.P. Round

[Docster]

The new RIP (Radically Invasive Projectile) round in 9mm. See it to believe it. Not yet illegal in Maryland.

Watch THIS.

Dont waste your time and money on it. Its essentially a fragmenting round. Forget the proper term for it but its for use on close range steel targets reducing the risk of ricochets. Just use a standard JHP.

May I suggest a vetted offering from DocGKR's list?

But it shoots thru multiple layers of denim!

Frangible.

It will do a lot of tissue damage, in theory. What it will not do, IMO, is transfer energy into tissues and ultimately into the central nervous system. What actually drops an attacker is the CNS getting overwhelmed and short circuiting. People can take minutes to hours to bleed out. They are still a threat while they do.

It WILL transfer energy into tissue. The energy doesn't simply disappear the issue is that instead of a singular projectile traveling along a path and retaining most of its energy you have multiple smaller projectiles losing (proportionally) much larger portions of its energy. The other issue is that handguns suck. Theres a very basic limit in how much energy you can pack into a pistol cartridge and still retain the hand held facet and controllability. Theres only one way to get a one shot stop and that is severing the connection between the spinal cord and the brain. Instant light switch.

 

[teratos]

Not true, Mopar. Not true at all. The energy wave needs to be concentrated. When a bullet breaks apart, the energy goes in different directions. It's weakened. Google "Courtney and Courtney - ballistics". Best source out there, IMO

Yeah I know I screwed up my original post and had to edit it.

i hope you are a better mechanic than a ballistician.

Loosen the chaps...better blood flow...clearer thinking...

What do you know about the body's reaction to trauma? Are you a doctor or something?

It ain't no good if you can't hit nobody wiff it.....just sayin'.

he works with you, doesnt he???

reminds me of some others

anyone remember the Black Talon.. the Rhino. extreme shocks. ..Eldorado starfires.. crazy rounds but all had their followings... I personally like the Glaser Safety slugs...

But the RIP round looks AWESOMELY COOL! (and I think it's tactical)
