The G2 Research R.I.P. 45 ACP ammunition delivers maximum stopping power through its innovative fracturing hollow point design. This 162-grain round splits into multiple wound channels upon impact, creating devastating terminal performance that exceeds conventional hollow point effectiveness.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional hollow points that expand in a mushroom pattern, the R.I.P. round features eight precision-machined copper petals that separate from the solid base upon impact. Each petal creates its own wound channel while the base continues penetrating to FBI minimum standards of 12-15 inches. This dual-action design produces significantly more tissue damage than standard expanding ammunition.
Key Features
- Fracturing hollow point design creates multiple wound channels
- 162-grain solid copper construction for consistent performance
- Eight precision-machined petals separate on impact
- Solid base penetrates 14-16 inches in ballistic gelatin
- Nickel-plated brass cases prevent corrosion and aid extraction
- Optimized powder charge for reliable cycling in semi-automatic pistols
- Lead-free construction reduces barrel fouling
The R.I.P. round excels in home defense scenarios where maximum stopping power is critical. The fracturing design transfers more kinetic energy to the target than traditional ammunition while maintaining sufficient penetration for effective neutralization. Law enforcement agencies have adopted this ammunition for duty use due to its consistent terminal ballistics and reduced overpenetration risk in urban environments.
