Frequently Asked Questions

How does 9mm FMJ ammunition perform on impact?

A 9mm FMJ round causes significant disruption and expansion of target material, creating internal cavitation. The impact is more localized compared to specialized fragmentation rounds.

What is the performance difference between 9mm FMJ and R.I.P. rounds?

In a controlled test, 9mm R.I.P. rounds showed a much more explosive and fragmenting effect on a clay block, leading to near-complete disintegration, while FMJ rounds caused more localized damage.

What firearm was used in the 9mm ammunition comparison?

The comparison utilized a Sig Sauer M17 pistol, equipped with a weapon light/laser attachment and a Magpul grip, for testing both 9mm FMJ and R.I.P. ammunition.

What is the primary advantage of R.I.P. ammunition?

R.I.P. ammunition is designed for self-defense and aims to create a more devastating wound channel through fragmentation upon impact, leading to rapid incapacitation.
