Default RIP round

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.
