The last round you'll ever need?

Reports are of poor penetration.

Massive tissue damage in the first few inches, but where it really counts is deeper penetration and damage, and these cartridges are lacking in that respect.

It said , " take out all the organs with one shot" on there website. Where would they have tested this?

Yeah, because you'll use it in a defensive situation, it won't penetrate enough, and you'll be the one who ended up dead.

Mister I don't know about you but I sure as hell wouldn't want to be shot with this thing, and I'm pretty damn sure no criminal would either. It's better than nothing but I expect there are many others that would work just as well for half the price.

I believe, if I remember right, one comment stated that it would fail in countries like Canada and Russia where large thick parkas would have their feathers blown out but the person underneath would be less damaged. I don't know about that, but I can say that it is generally proven that heavy thick Canada parkas may not be good body armor, but still add a lot of thickness to penetrate.

Self defense ammo thats useless vs. a Ruskie? That seems pretty damn useless with Comrade Putin these days...

You mean like the ones that are sitting on my desk right now?

All they did was make them copper instead of black and call them Ranger T series instead of black talon. ;)

The rumour is that Ranger SXT stands for Same eXact Thing.

The RIP ammo has been thoroughly debunked as being nothing more than a gimmick with poor penetration and very dubious lethality. Scary looks should not be a consideration in defensive ammo.

That said, there is nothing prohibiting this round here should someone put it through ERD for authorization.
