G2R Ammo has developed a new type of ammunition called "Radically Invasion Projectile" (RIP) ammo intended to 'maximize lethal potential' for citizens in self-defense situations.
Note: it is not simply a new line of ammunition but an entirely new kind of ammunition.
The "cartridge" for 9mm RIP ammo is a "96 grain, CNC machined, solid copper, lead-free projectile." It provides the penetration of full metal jacket ammunition with the effectiveness of fragmentation; possible because of the "trocar" designed, three-sided edges that break off during penetration and create their own path through the target.
The tips of the "trocar" edges are saw-like, which helps the bullet cut through "plywood, auto glass, sheetrock, cinder block, sheet metal, [and] multiple layers of denim [or clothing]" before fragmentation begins.
For self-defense purposes, fragmentation is designed to send a shock-wave through the attacker's body at the point of entry.
G2R's Cliff Brown told The Blaze he "wanted to create a round that would work well against a home intruder." He said he's heard too "many stories...about a woman trying to defend her home and having to shoot someone five or six times and [the attacker would] still come after her. We wanted to create an effective one shot manstopper."
ok, so this is a story that you have wanted to share. this is great, please write the link, but you still need to comment about it, so you could make your blog entry for the week about new kinds of ammunition and compare them, up to you. Remember this is not just about sharing but creating a space for you to have your say

Nice post, like the design and concept of the bullet. They break off during penetration and create their own path through the target? Sounds like they created the effective one shot man-stopper they wanted.
