R.I.P. 9mm rounds

They claim to be 1 Shot killers.. well they better be if anyone actually buys them for defensive ammo, because I can't imagine them feeding very well.

Shows at certain points them shooting it, but don't know how it will function well with other firearms aside from those shown.

you know, if they could make it so it held together for 6 inches, then fragmented, they may have something interesting.

Or just get black talons. Like me.

winchester t actually performs a little beta and is much cheaper.

I'll hold judgement 'til we see actual, unbiased, proper testing. If they hold up to the manufacturer's claims, then great. If not, then it wouldn't be the first time, probably won't be the last time that something flopped horribly.

I just know I'm kinda mad that someone decided these would be a good mod to make for a game I play, and that the version he/she cooked up is even more BS-laden than the real thing.

​Why don't you get some of the bullets Lehigh Defense makes. You can see them on Youtube they are actually made. The petals spread twice the size of the caliber.

What do y'all think? Would y'all use them in your CCW?

You have GOT to be joking. I wouldn't put that crap inside my pistol if they PAID me.

While the R.I.P. round has yet to be proven on the street, I applaud companies that think outside the box to bring us new and innovative products. Can you imagine the state of firearms today had not Eugene Stoner try something different?

Yep.
I ain't gonna run out and buy a box of these, but with some tweaking, there may be a new standard.

Looks like they just machined slots in them with no engineering thought behind them.
I wouldn't shoot them through my gun, I'd be afraid it'd tumble before it went 3" down the barrel.

It's nice to see you take some time away from your vacation to join us peons

I agree though. All said and done, I'm happy with my Hornady Critical Defense and in opinion, that's the real "last round you'll ever need."

It appears from the high speed video that's what they do.

The picture shows that they separate immediately. They may penetrate 6" in gell, which would probably result in them stopping if they hit ANY bone. Not good when shooting at organs protected by a rib cage.

No, it opens up immediately and the fragments go about 6" (just eyeballing it). If the bullet held together 6'' then expanded for another 6 inches, you'll have fragments in the vitals. This way, it looks like most of the fragments would likely be stuck in non-vital areas.

Seems like an expensive frangible.
