‘The Last Round You’ll Ever Need’: The Awesome New Bullet Billed as a ‘One-Shot Manstopper’
The Blaze ^ | 1/27/14 | Elizabeth Kreft

Posted on 01/27/2014 7:05:26 PM PST by smokingfrog

Gun owners who prefer a hollow point design to a full metal jacket might have found a new favorite.

G2 Research (G2R) released it’s new Radically Invasive Projectile (R.I.P.) this month, hoping to “take the civilian and law enforcement markets by storm, and truly become the last round you’ll ever need.”

G2R, based in Winder, Ga., highlights that the bullet points are manufactured with trocar angles — or simply put, edges with three angles reaching one point — to “penetrate the dermis layer more efficiently.”

The G2R website explains the R.I.P. acts like a full metal jacket when it impacts solid objects: “It is capable of going through barriers such as sheet rock, plywood, sheet metal or glass and still performs its original intent. The bullet shreds through solid objects and only then, expands its energy.”

Lead free too!

I guess this means a billion rounds of hollow point will be becoming surplus soon...

G2 apparently has even more fax machines with preset media #’s than the 2 people who call themselves “Center for Science in the Public Interest”

It’s a ‘manstopper.’ Diane won’t care.

They won’t wet their pants ... they will simply outlaw the sale of this ammo to the general public.

I am waiting for my tungsten core bullets. Or maybe a HEAT round for the 9mm.

I don't know why and do not think these are that big of a deal. My pick of the litter is here.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glaser_Safety_Slug

This bullet departs 100% of its energy into the target with no over penetration. It causes a huge wound channel that is unsurvivable in the chest area. It doesn't go through walls or people and kill those on the other side. My .40 is stoked with these in the first mag and then heavier hollow points in the next two mags.

Oh, good LORD!
I was researching this ammunition for the last 2 days.
Sounds feasible, but was wondering about the legal implications with it.

SHOT show was also talking about a tethered bullet, too.
A projectile that has four pieces connected by small tethers that turns the bullet into a kind of guillotine.

But, hey.
Whatever stops the threat. Right?

A small tungsten rod inserted into a drilled bullet wouldn’t be too hard to do, would it?

More silly gimmick bullets that are less effective, imo.

Primary effect is to stir up gun grabbers, which we don’t need.

So, when I panic fire eight of these into the walls around the intruder, these will stop him in his tracks?

Probably be “classified” as one of them evil cop killer bullets that can take down telephone poles when they are struck. Blow up engine blocks and semi trucks.
