Duration: 15:59

This video from Weapons Education, presented by Tom, explores Double Tap Ammunition's innovative 'Equalizer' line, featuring dual projectiles per cartridge. Tom, an experienced firearms instructor, details the technology behind these high-pressure rounds, designed for enhanced self-defense effectiveness. He demonstrates projectile separation at various distances and discusses the implications for terminal ballistics, emphasizing the importance of firearm compatibility with high-pressure loads.

Quick Summary

Double Tap Ammunition's 'Equalizer' rounds fire two projectiles per cartridge, enhancing self-defense effectiveness. The 190-grain 10mm features a hollow point followed by a disc, while the 230-grain uses a hollow point and a soft lead ball. These high-pressure loads require firearms rated for '+P' ammunition.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Double Tap Ammunition's 'Equalizer' rounds unique for self-defense?

Double Tap Ammunition's 'Equalizer' rounds are unique because each cartridge fires two projectiles. This design aims to increase the likelihood of incapacitating a threat by delivering multiple impacts and enhanced terminal ballistics from a single shot.

How do the dual projectiles in Double Tap ammunition separate?

The dual projectiles separate in flight after leaving the barrel. Testing shows separation begins around 10-15 feet and increases with distance, with the second projectile often deviating from the primary hollow point's path.

What are the specifications for the 190-grain and 230-grain Double Tap 10mm Equalizer rounds?

The 190-grain 10mm load features a 135-grain jacketed hollow point and a 55-grain disc, traveling at 1210 fps. The 230-grain load uses a 135-grain jacketed hollow point and a 95-grain soft lead ball, moving at 1040 fps.

Is Double Tap Ammunition safe for all firearms?

No, Double Tap Ammunition produces high-pressure loads. It is crucial to ensure your firearm is rated to handle '+P' or '+P+' ammunition by consulting the manufacturer to avoid potential damage or malfunctions.
