R.I.P. Ammo

[jvpark]

Probably gonna follow the black talon. Banned in Kommiefornia almost as soon as they come out.

I'll take a few boxes in each caliber! Do they make them for rifles?!!

SHOTGUN SLUGS!!!!


OH YEAH!!!

I was thinking Both.

3rd party testing of RIP ammo

Glock 19 was used for testing. Five rounds fired with one failure-to-feed stoppage.

Manufacturer claim was trocar pens to 6" and bullet pens to 15-17".


Summary:

I’m not going to say that the G2 R.I.P. is junk. It does have the capability to penetrate deep enough to cause an incapacitating hit if your aim is good enough to put it on target. It’s not like some of the other gimmick rounds that woefully underpenetrate. But that said, the only thing it really brings to the table that’s new (a big shallow surface wound) is done at the expense of delivering destruction where you want and need it – by putting the biggest possible bullet deep within the body. That’s a poor tradeoff. But the decision’s yours – decide and use whatever you’re comfortable with. Just consider making your decisions based on knowledge and results, rather than on over-the-top claims and marketing hype.

Currently... MSRP = $50 for 20 rounds. Auction sites = $150 for 20 rounds.

Hmmm, i dont know, its just me but after you defend yourself, some prosecuting attorney during the civil suit would say you MEANT to shoot someone with ammo named R.I.P.
I'll stick to Critical defense.

The round looks cool, but I mean really, how often is someone breaking into your home where you would actually get a chance to use this? At those prices I doubt anyone will be taking that to the range to shoot paper.

That voice in the video is funny. It is like he grew up wanting to announce movies but never made the cut, so, he gets to talk about an overpriced bullet on youtube.

So the round works as well as .22LR without the layers of denim....

If police departments start adopting it, there may be some merit to it. It's never a bad idea to use the same stuff that the cops use, unless the cops are using ball ammo. My local PD uses hollow-points.

[1HitaQuita]

The difference is that cops need ammo like that on a daily basis. Our hope is that us "non-cops" never need to use it.

How is it on zombies?
