GR2 R.I.P. Ammo

[KahrMan]

For the guys that know a lot about ballistics, is this stuff a gimmick or is there some merit to their design?

Unfortunately,  Nothing to write home about.

 

Good marketing, though.

Marketing, gimmick, and ridiculously expensive.

It is nice information about R.I.P. Ammunition. These ammunaition are really effective especially for police and defence person.

Hmmmm. I'm thinking you may not have researched the post-op links.

But, welcome to TGO.

As you research this  keep in mind a lot of folks never came home that stepped in front of a jacketed round nose "ball" round or two.

 

shot placement is first and foremost  these whizz bang bullet designs are neat to watch in gelatine etc. but it has been proven time and again that hollow points of any design will not reliably expand at most handgun velocities so you would basically be shooting jacketed round nose if if they fail to open up due to any number of factors

 

 

 hoping you never have to find out if your carry ammo expanded like it was designed to.

The name itself is terrible - i'd never want to carry "deadly ammo"
