This test compares G2 Research R.I.P. 9mm rounds against standard Winchester hollow points by shooting them into a truck bed. The R.I.P. round fragmented as designed but penetrated the truck bed, while the Winchester hollow point caused a bulge but failed to penetrate. The test highlights the different terminal ballistic behaviors of fragmenting versus traditional hollow-point ammunition.

Frequently Asked Questions

What was the main difference in performance between the R.I.P. 9mm and Winchester hollow points when shot into a truck bed?

The R.I.P. 9mm round fragmented but its core penetrated the truck bed. The Winchester hollow point caused a significant bulge and dent but did not penetrate the metal.

How is the G2 Research R.I.P. 9mm round designed differently from a standard hollow point?

The R.I.P. round features a unique design with trocar-shaped petals intended to break off upon impact, promoting fragmentation and reducing over-penetration compared to traditional jacketed hollow points.

Did the R.I.P. 9mm round over-penetrate the truck bed in the 704 Tactical test?

While the R.I.P. round fragmented as designed, its solid core did penetrate through the truck bed wall, indicating significant energy transfer and penetration capability.

What kind of issues were observed during the live-fire test with the ammunition?

During the live-fire test, a brief feeding issue was encountered with the Winchester hollow point ammunition before the second shot could be fired.
