Re: New bullet. Check website, watch videos. Discuss.

its been done adnausium on you tube , we pretty much know that it deploys its trocars in a radial pattern over a wide area....The criticism here had been it wont penetrate, its not effective, ect....

I don't understand what you want me to do, the RIP performed in a manner in which you want a bullet to when encounter...

Re: New bullet. Check website, watch videos. Discuss.

Re: New bullet. Check website, watch videos. Discuss.

so your saying it would be easier for the XTP and the Golden saber to perform as well as the RIP if it was arrainged the other way?...I'm wondering how do you get the bad guy to stand on the "Correct" side of the door?

Re: New bullet. Check website, watch videos. Discuss.

I'm not sure...I think the FBI calls jacket separation a fail? so I can only speak to the XTP and Golden sab as a possible fail... it was sort of a "Car Door" mock up...similar material at similar spacing with a hydraulic target (person) at a similar distance behind it. looks like if you have a JHP,...
