This video provides an in-depth look at Wilson Combat's Xtreme Defense and Xtreme Penetrator bullets, highlighting their unique non-deforming design and superior terminal ballistics. Representatives from Wilson Combat and Lehigh Defense explain how the fluted copper construction creates a significant wound channel through fluid displacement, rather than expansion. The footage includes impressive barrier testing and ballistic gel demonstrations, showcasing the bullets' ability to maintain integrity and achieve FBI-compliant penetration depths (12-16 inches) through various materials.

Quick Summary

Wilson Combat's Xtreme Defense bullets are engineered for superior terminal ballistics, utilizing a non-deforming solid copper design with flutes. These flutes create a 'jet effect' that displaces fluids and tissue, forming a large wound channel without relying on expansion. They are barrier-blind, consistently penetrating 12-16 inches in ballistic gel, meeting FBI standards through materials like clothing, glass, and metal.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do Wilson Combat Xtreme Defense bullets create a wound channel?

Xtreme Defense bullets use specially machined flutes on their solid copper construction. These flutes displace fluids and tissue outward, creating a large permanent wound channel through a 'jet effect' without the bullet needing to expand.

Are Xtreme Defense bullets effective against barriers?

Yes, Xtreme Defense bullets are designed to be barrier-blind. They can penetrate materials like heavy clothing, auto glass, wood, and metal while maintaining their shape and trajectory, ensuring reliable performance.

What is the typical penetration depth of Xtreme Defense bullets?

In ballistic gel tests, Xtreme Defense bullets consistently achieve penetration depths between 12 to 16 inches. This range meets the FBI's compliant penetration standards for effective terminal ballistics.

What is the main difference between Xtreme Defense bullets and traditional hollow points?

Traditional hollow points rely on expansion to create a wound channel, which can be unreliable through barriers. Xtreme Defense bullets use fluid displacement via flutes, maintaining their shape and creating a significant wound channel regardless of expansion.
