R.I.P. R.I.P?

There’s a new oddly expanding bullet in town.

    I want some in 9mm and .45ACP.

    Looks nice… but reliable expansion through FBI Standard Heavy Cloth on calibrated gel or it doesn’t count.

  3. Oleg Volk Says:

    We tested it through four layers of denim, it worked just fine. Since there’s no cavity but rather a mechanical round-nose expander, it can’t plug up.

  4. Huck Says:

    COOL! I want some in .45 Colt and .38 Special. PLEASE!

    Marketing matters. If it is a good product but badly labeled, renaming the item can help “restart” it on the market. Just look at the Black Talon rounds which evolved into the Winchester SXT line.

    Instead of using jacketed lead, which requires considerable energy to expand, OATH machines each bullet from copper

    All copper? Check your state and local laws. Some states may consider this “armor piercing” ammunition, or have other restrictions on it.

    I’m not gonna touch it. In Virginia, this would fall under the definition of “restricted” ammunition.

    It’s not illegal to have, but it’s use or attempted use “while committing or attempting to commit a crime” is a felony in and of itself, separate from any other crime. Even if the underlying supposed crime is only a misdemeanor.

    In a self-defense case, it’s one more felony charge for an overzealous prosecutor to throw at you. Or if you’re unlucky and the jury decides it’s not self-defense but only worthy of a misdemeanor conviction, it’s a slam-dunk felony the prosecutor can throw at you afterwards.

    Not worth the risk.

    Jake — good reason to move to Texas.

    It isn’t all copper it is copper and plastic.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
