First, check the video:
And with that in mind, what are the Logical Extensions?
From TheBlaze.com:
Gun owners who prefer a hollow point design to a full metal jacket might have found a new favorite.
G2 Research (G2R) released it’s new Radically Invasive Projectile (R.I.P.) this month, hoping to “take the civilian and law enforcement markets by storm, and truly become the last round you’ll ever need.”
G2R, based in Winder, Ga., highlights that the bullet points are manufactured with trocar angles — or simply put, edges with three angles reaching one point — to “penetrate the dermis layer more efficiently.”
The G2R website explains the R.I.P. acts like a full metal jacket when it impacts solid objects: “It is capable of going through barriers such as sheet rock, plywood, sheet metal or glass and still performs its original intent. The bullet shreds through solid objects and only then, expands its energy.”
And whilst you thought technology slept — it did not.
Cliff Brown, G2 Research President, told The Blaze that excitement for the new round “went viral” after they visited the Las Vegas Shot Show in January, and published their research videos online.
“This bullet is designed to take out all your vital organs…inferior bullets won’t be a problem anymore,” 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.
And therein lies the rub.
The company’s site adds that G2R has tested the new round with numerous fully automatic and semi automatic firearms, as well as rifles. They claim to have zero failures when testing most well known firearms on the market including Sig, Glock, Beretta, Springfield, FN, Taurus, Walther, Khar, S&W and many others.

Nice to see this.
Now watch for the Federal government to ban it save for their own agencies to use against American citizens when the final crackdown begins.
At $2.00 a round? I’ll stick to my old .45…
Kinda reminds of this (which dates me severely): the Glaser Safety Slug.
But, on the other hand, just ONE well-placed round from a Springfield XD, Fred?
;^)

Every other round in a clip or mag would make for a nice combo.
The bullet looks about 50% longer than a standard .45 round, my first thought is this round would have feed issues, my second thought is what BZ already mentioned, it’s a new version of the Glaser. BZ, I remember when those were new, so I’m in the same group. 😉
I’ll stick with the ammo I load now, thanks.
