Frequently Asked Questions

What is R.I.P. ammunition?

R.I.P. stands for Radically Invasive Projectile. It's a type of ammunition, like the 12 Gauge version tested here, designed to fragment upon impact. This fragmentation creates multiple wound channels, aiming to maximize tissue damage and effectiveness.

How did the R.I.P. 12 Gauge perform in the ballistic gel test?

The R.I.P. 12 Gauge round demonstrated significant fragmentation and created a large temporary cavity within the ballistic gel head. It also showed substantial penetration, passing through the gel and a car door.

What was recovered from the R.I.P. 12 Gauge test?

After firing the R.I.P. 12 Gauge round into the ballistic gel and car door, only the mid-cap of the projectile was recovered. This indicates extensive fragmentation and deformation of the projectile.

What kind of target was used for the R.I.P. 12 Gauge test?

The test utilized a 'Cranium Target Ballistic Gel' head. This specialized target is designed to simulate tissue and allow for detailed observation of projectile performance, including cavity formation and fragmentation.
