G2R's Radically Invasive Projectile

The invention of the G2R's projectile R.I.P.â,,¢ is related to the ability to control the way the projectile reacts as it passes through different mediums by control of the mfg process, geometry and the rate of failure at different zones along its axial length. More particularly but not limited to the ability to take the projectile and predictably have it stay solid in one medium but yet have the exact same projectile predictably react as a fragmenting bullet through a different medium without alteration of the projectile. The geometry at the tip of the projectile has much to do with the way the projectile travels through tissue. It has been long known in the medical industry that a trocar point penetrates the dermis layer more efficiently. Patents for trocars appeared early in the 19th century, although their use dated back possibly thousands of years. It is the use of this geometry at the front end of the projectile that does specific work at the point of entry from one system to the next. Dependent on the medium the projectiles geometry is designed to react differently.

Imagine a Hole saw. The hole saw action that occurs at points of entry into different mediums reduce initial drag which allow the hollow cavity in the center of the projectile to rapidly pack. In the case of plywood the hole saw action cleanly cuts and packs the projectile with a slug that makes it solid thus allowing it to conserve more of its energy. This performance could prove to be very effective for law enforcement that may be in a situation where the target is behind such an obstacle whereas more energy will be carried into the intended target and not lost in the obstacle.

In a fluid the projectile fragments. Due to the trocar geometry of each petal the resulting diameter of the fragmentation pattern is maximized. The trocar tips allow the fragments to swim through tissue / gel with less resistance thus conserving energy. The cross sectional thicknesses and geometries also create a full 180 degree flip halfway along each of the 8 petals path. The resulting shock wave and wound path is maximized. The result is devastating.

G2R's relentless study and applied physics have derived a radically invasive projectile that outperforms the rest.

It is truly "The last round you will ever need."â,,¢

That looks like it would do the trick quite nicely.

looks like you would.have feed problems in a auto. but out the other end i bet getting hit would be a surgions nightmare.

wondee what a box is gona go for

A box of 20 will set you back $44.00 + tax. 

I think it is a gimmick and will wait for real world testing before trusting that round.  I can't see penetration being that great with the fragmentation that occurs.

Gun broker wants $240.00 a box.

Like to see an independent test on these.

A fine example of good 'ol American price gouging.

yeah just cause it looks neat dont mean it will work. seems  like I have seen something similar before and the hype was just that. hype. Remember "black talon" if memeory serves they were cop killers that didnt have the power to cycle the action on most autos.

[CCP]

Its not looking so well in independent testing.

[slagmaker]

gotta retain the weight to get in there.

[HaMeR]

I do like the plywood test with them. If the sternum will offer the resistance the plywood offers then that 9 1/2" of penetration with the petals still intact is gonna be enough to stop a heart on my under fed low life's on the street. At the chest the vitals are well within that depth.

I would be interested in what Pat & Semp have to say about these results.

think I'll just stay with my Silver tips for the 45...

[HaMeR]

Yeah I'm not changing from the Critical Defense by Hornady either.
