Polycase's ARX ammunition utilizes a copper-polymer matrix projectile with a unique fluted design, intended to harness fluid dynamics for energy transfer in soft tissue. The 9mm ARX (65gr @ 1545 fps) and 45 Colt ARX (158gr @ 1350 fps) are designed for barrier penetration and frangibility on steel targets, respectively. While the concept is intriguing, further testing in ballistic soap is planned to validate the 'propeller' effect.
