I don't know if this has been posted yet, but damn these bullets are scary as hell.

All bullets are scary. As law enforcement bullets? I don't think so. Wouldn't resonate with citizens imho.

Until these bullets are tried in battle or law enforcement with true results on living things, I doubt very much if they will kill any better than standard hollow points or even hardball 45ACP bullets.
let's face it, what a bullet looks like has very little to do with killing if it diesn't make it to the target, and this is dependant mostly on the shooter.

I bet the cost per round will sink this idea. For what they do and the price it's hard to beat a gold dot or hst hollowpoint.

i dont recall them shooting ballistic gel through plywood or anything in the video.

i dont see how the individual spears would have much energy to continue on after hitting a piece of plywood.

Why do people keep trying to replicate the Glaser.

I'm thinking Doctors would put an end to cops using these rounds after digging them out of a few perps in the ER.

Be a sin if your family member died because the surgeon was spending too much time on a baddie with pieces of metal through his body to get to them.

Who says the "badies" are going to be the only ones getting hit with these. Maybe these bullets will have a better market place with the bad guys!

Cops should choose bullets that will resolve the immediate danger the quickest and that may be the one that is most likely to cause instant death.
They should not be selecting bullets that cause just a superficial wound nor should any doctor be able to dictate what bullet they would prefer to encounter in their work.
The real sin would be if a family member gave the cops a reason to shoot.

I'm always leery of "Catchy" names. Usually don't live up to their claims.
