The G2 Research R.I.P. 40 S&W ammunition delivers maximum terminal performance through its innovative fracturing hollow point design. This 115-grain load creates multiple wound channels upon impact, providing superior stopping power compared to traditional hollow point rounds.
What Makes This Different
The R.I.P. (Radically Invasive Projectile) features eight precision-machined trocars that separate from the main bullet upon impact, creating nine separate wound channels. Each trocar penetrates 4-6 inches while the solid base continues to 14-16 inches, meeting FBI penetration standards. This dual-action terminal ballistics system maximizes tissue disruption while maintaining consistent penetration depth.
Key Features
- Eight precision-machined copper trocars create multiple wound channels
- 115-grain solid copper construction eliminates lead exposure concerns
- Nickel-plated brass cases prevent corrosion and ensure reliable feeding
- Consistent 1,265 fps muzzle velocity from 4-inch barrel
- Compatible with all 40 S&W firearms and standard magazines
- Lead-free design meets California and other restricted-area requirements
- 20 rounds per box, 25 boxes per case (500 total rounds)
Field testing demonstrates reliable expansion and separation across various barrier materials including heavy clothing, wallboard, and automotive glass. The solid copper construction maintains structural integrity through intermediate barriers while the trocars deploy consistently. Law enforcement agencies report excellent terminal performance in duty applications, while civilian users appreciate the reduced over-penetration risk in home defense scenarios.
