[h=1]G2R'S RADICALLY INVASIVE PROJECTILE[/h]The invention of the G2R's projectile R.I.P.™ is related to the ability to control the way the projectile reacts as it passes through different mediums by control of the mfg process, geometry and the rate of failure at different zones along its axial length. More particularly but not limited to the ability to take the projectile and predictably have it stay solid in one medium but yet have the exact same projectile predictably react as a fragmenting bullet through a different medium without alteration of the projectile. The geometry at the tip of the projectile has much to do with the way the projectile travels through tissue. It has been long known in the medical industry that a trocar point penetrates the dermis layer more efficiently. Patents for trocars appeared early in the 19th century, although their use dated back possibly thousands of years. It is the use of this geometry at the front end of the projectile that does specific work at the point of entry from one system to the next. Dependent on the medium the projectiles geometry is designed to react differently.
Imagine a Hole saw. The hole saw action that occurs at points of entry into different mediums reduce initial drag which allow the hollow cavity in the center of the projectile to rapidly pack. In the case of plywood the hole saw action cleanly cuts and packs the projectile with a slug that makes it solid thus allowing it to conserve more of its energy. This performance could prove to be very effective for law enforcement that may be in a situation where the target is behind such an obstacle whereas more energy will be carried into the intended target and not lost in the obstacle.
In a fluid the projectile fragments. Due to the trocar geometry of each petal the resulting diameter of the fragmentation pattern is maximized. The trocar tips allow the fragments to swim through tissue / gel with less resistance thus conserving energy. The cross sectional thicknesses and geometries also create a full 180 degree flip halfway along each of the 8 petals path. The resulting shock wave and wound path is maximized. The result is devastating.
G2R's relentless study and applied physics have derived a radically invasive projectile that outperforms the rest.
It is truly "The last round you will ever need."

That`s at 90 degrees. All impacts have different obliquity. How does that do at say 30 degrees into solid medium ?

I doubt it would do well against any armor. But flesh and bone it seems to do well in. Anyone else think this stuff won't be legal long? Anyone remember black talon ammo?

50 bucks for 20 rounds. And a lot of the reviews are less than glowing. Hardly the last ammo I'll ever need it's a stupid marketing ploy.

I wouldn't say it's a stupid marketing ploy, they have made their money even just a few weeks into production. But I agree 50 Dills for 20 rounds is very steep. I reload Hornady critical defense for 0.17 a round. And I know that shit works, I took down a white tail deer with my .45ACP last year and there was damage in all vital organs from one shot. Needless to say I carry 25 rounds of it on me at all times now.

Of course it's a marketing ploy. When the hell would you ever need these? From the name "R.I.P" to the shitty graphics on the box, it's all a marketing ploy sold to gun nuts that need the shiniest and newest things. Just like the golf industry, or ski industry, or any other high-end luxury items. It's geared to people who really think there gonna need to protect their houses from marauding bands of armed thugs. In other words, stupid.

At any range in a home invasion, a 00 12 gauge buckshot is far better. And out on the streets, I'd rather have ammo that I can afford to train with, not some gimmicky shit that looks cool in a video.

I fully agree it's a marketing ploy. Just not a stupid one. I wish I thought of it. It made the owners overnight millionaires. People are always looking for the newest and best in arms and ammo. But the fact the military isn't using it, and it's for civilian sales should be a big clue.

A product can make a lot of money and still be useless and stupid. It just separates fools from their cash, and I would posit many of the people buying this ammo aren't exactly rich. It's a novelty, and a pretty sadistic one at that.

Probably because it looks scary.

Maybe an argument can be made that this round is specifically designed to kill humans and therefore more "evil", but I hardly think a slightly re-worked frangible bullet counts as the spawn of Beezelbub.

That's quite the bullet. Interesting indeed, and they will serve their purpose somewhere... I don't find the need for it as hollow points and hishock do the job just fine, but they will get their use I'm sure.
