Frequently Asked Questions

What is the performance of Fort Scott 9mm T.U.I. ammunition in ballistic gel?

From a 16-inch barrel, the 115gr Fort Scott T.U.I. achieved 24 inches of penetration in FBI ballistic gel after passing through fabric barriers, with 100% weight retention and a tumbling effect creating a good permanent cavity.

How does Fort Scott 9mm T.U.I. ammunition perform against barriers?

The T.U.I. ammunition is described as 'barrier blind.' It successfully penetrated a standard code wall (two sheets of drywall with insulation) and seven 1/2-inch solid pine boards, demonstrating its ability to maintain integrity through various materials.

What is the 'T.U.I.' feature in Fort Scott ammunition?

T.U.I. stands for 'Tumble Upon Impact.' This design causes the projectile to yaw or tumble after hitting soft targets or barriers, creating a larger wound channel and enhancing its effectiveness.

How does barrel length affect Fort Scott 9mm T.U.I. performance?

Testing showed that a longer 16.1-inch barrel (Kel-Tec Sub 2000) significantly increased velocity (1310 fps vs 1115 fps), energy (438 ft/lbs vs 318 ft/lbs), and penetration (24 inches vs 22 inches) compared to a 4.6-inch barrel (CZ SP-01 Phantom).
