Team Never Quit 9mm 100gr Frangible Ammo Test

Published on August 5, 2015
Duration: 2:55

This video tests Team Never Quit's 100-grain 9mm frangible ammunition, manufactured by Snake River Shooting Products. While affordable and featuring Marcus Luttrell's image, the ammo exhibited cycling issues in a 3.2-inch barrel PPS but functioned reliably in a 4-inch barrel P99. Ballistics testing in gelatin showed significant energy transfer and fragmentation, with some pieces penetrating a simulated wall and a subsequent gel block, raising concerns for self-defense applications.

Quick Summary

Team Never Quit's 100-grain 9mm frangible ammunition, manufactured by Snake River Shooting Products, is an affordable option for range use. While it cycled reliably in a 4-inch barrel pistol, it caused issues in a shorter barrel. Ballistics tests showed significant fragmentation and energy transfer, with some fragments penetrating simulated barriers.
