This is G2 Research’s new R.I.P. Ammunition, a bullet that releases eight pieces of shrapnel upon entering its target. For the record, I would not like to be shot with it.
After separation the tines travel in a semi-circle, maximizing the chance that they strike something vital.And while the separated sharp tines go in all directions, the base of the bullet continues to penetrate in a straight line, achieving a very respectable 14- to 17- inch penetration range.
“This bullet is designed to take out all your vital organs…inferior bullets won’t be a problem anymore,” [G2 President Cliff] Brown said. The company president stressed prevention of law enforcement injuries was a primary focus for the round designers.
“The R.I.P. will not defeat level 3A body armor, that was one of our main goals when designing this bullet,” Brown said.
