I would love to see a comparison between this ammunition and other more common 9mm rounds in the ballistic gel to compare the penetration and energy dissipation. I would also like to see how it compares to other rounds on the wear and tear it causes on the barrel. Also what difference in accuracy have you noticed? I checked out their website and it doesn't sound like they are nearly as accurate and they didn't have a lot of information on longer distance shots. By the way your TH-cam channel is one of the most entertaining and best put together channels. Awesome job!
Great video! And I appreciate your approach. However I feel like this round is a gimmick. It created a massive temporary wound cavity which has been found not to really cause a ton of damage. And leaves the petals only about 6 inches in. So basically after the petals separate, you get a narrow wound channel like with a FMJ. There is a reason why expanding hollow points have been the standard in defeating unarmored targets. It works! A 95 grain solid copper projectile that leaves petals shallow and doesn't create a large permanent wound cavity will not be as effective. That being said, I wouldn't want to take one to the chest either though.
Hey Richard! Is there any chance we could get a control video for normal 9mm full metal jacket? It would be great to have a standard comparison to see how effective the R.I.P. round really is. Would that be possible at all? Maybe even a comparison to different rounds like hollow point and marketed hollow point?
I'm actually glad you did this video showing how these rounds work. A buddy of mine told me about these rounds. Hell, I'd buy a 9mm handgun just to get these rounds. Excellent work. Thank you for posting this.
I would like to see how the RIP ammunition does with denim. How the ammo works in a real life simulation against layers of coats/shirts/denim etc. Also, I would like to hear your opinion on the RIP ammunition against the ammunition of other manufacturers as a carrying ammo along with a sort of compare/contrast and what you think is best if you would please. Thanks.
I'd like to see similar tests like you did for the G2 RIP for the Liberty Civil Defense 9mm round. Its a similar concept, a frangible all copper round with petals that break off to expand the wound cavity, but it is significantly lighter, and faster (over 2000 FPS). I would be interested in how they compare.
+Logan Brunson There are many, many videos on Liberty and other frangible rounds, and the results are 100% failure, like the RIP. They don't create permanent stretch cavities, the center doesn't expand causing a good central wound channel to vitals, and the fragments are all but worthless.
My experience with defense ammo has been limited to Lehigh Defense Extreme Penetrator, Precision One HP/XTP, Federal HST, Hornaday XTP, Sig Sauer Elite V-Crown, Speer Gold Dot, and Magtech Guardian Gold with the Federal HST’s penetration, expansion, and consistency taking 1st place. I’m anxious to try out the G2’s offerings. I’m not surprised by the lack of substantial penetration of the G2’s performance due to the expansion of the trocars slowing the round down upon impact and initial penetration. Great vids! keep them coming.
fire2box It's not even a great round for that purpose either once you understand ballistics. It's a round that looks impressive, but it really underperforms compared to other ammunition.
Awesome vid (as usual ;-) ) will definitely keep an eye to your next posting on this subject. Should consider doing (shooting) the following: 3/4" plywood Double-pain glass (patio door) A regular household (hollow) internal door Peeled coconuts These should give an approximate result to the needs of a home-defense round. With your abilities of filming and "knack" for how something would look good this should be a highly watched segment. Thanks for posting. (And helping FPS) cool combo!
@@Bigwals home invaders notoriously throw peeled coconuts at their victims. This would prove the rounds ability to demolish them mid- trajectory in an attempt to remain safe during the incoming barrage until you can recover and make follow up shots on the assailant
Bayan1905 be honest with me how much fucking money do you have to spend on self defense? Do you have to shoot 3 intruders per week? One box of RIP should last a lifetime.
I know this is old but if you never found any AVOID EM LIKE THE PLAGUE!!!! Lol they absolutely suck and they want $2-3 bucks a round for a gimmick haha unless you have PERFECT circumstances, which ya won’t Lol
Having been a drywaller (in America) for nearly 30 years, I'm wondering, after not getting the results you wanted with your initial shot through the drywall (suspecting that you were replicating interior wall penetration), why did you then build another mini-wall stuffed with insulation to get your intended result? Myself having rarely encountered interior walls that were insulated, it would seem you were stacking the deck to skew your demonstration of interior wall penetration.
+AH Glasher good point, and when do you see a wall standing independeptly? wheres the concrete, the steel?Even a support beam. Unless were talking trailers, then a .22 can go thru the wall.
Rubashow, the idea when you have an intruder is to put him down for good. I don't want him getting up again for any reason... and If you're ever in that situation you will feel exactly as I do.. I guarantee it....
FullMag why is 10 yards considered the standard distance for home defense? That's 30 feet. I would be quite a bit closer if I were firing my weapon at an intruder in my house. I'm just curious. Did you do any shooting at 5 yards?
Pam Adger i think the tru answer to you first Q was that 10 yards is harder than 5. if you can hit at ten you canhit at 3 under stress. AND ten yard is that distance where on the street you notice when someone enters that semi near bubble. @ ten yards you are a largish blip on my radar... if not sooner....
+TheiRenaissance I don't agree, you should always train with the weapon to be used at ranges to be faced. Shooting a man sized target at the range has no bearing to being shit-scared in poor light with a person at contact to 10 feet away. I don't say intruder, because more family members have been shot than intruders.
If you use that u definetely make sure that no surgon is able to put the target back together. Is it necessary to use such ammunition? If you feel threatened and keep a gun ready isn't it enough to use normal ass ammo. Why would you decide to use fragmenting bullets?
***** You know that has happened in very unique situations. If you looked that up and I mean do some research outside of forums with trigger happy nuts, you'll see that is so untrue. Not everyone who breaks in your house wants to kill or is even armed. Not that I would take the chance. More people get in trouble for overkill than wounding an assailant.
Fantastic shots!! It's nice to finally see some testing done with real ordinance gelatin and not just the usual watermelon-type stuff. Isn't there a type of gelatin that will show both the permanent cavity and the temporary "shock" cavity at the same time? Also, I'd suggest in the future draping a couple layers of denim over the front of the block to simulate clothing. Man, those high speed camera shots are incredible to see!!
It was the Hague Accord that banned use of expanding projectiles in military conflicts between uniformed armies. Only applies to member nations. In free states anyone can use hollowpoint ammo, some states ban carry but home defense is ok. And I'll be as "cruel" as required to prevent my loved ones, myself, or any other innocent sheep from being victimized.
Not very impressive compared to other ammunition on the market. The main wound channel is so small. And, lol at the round not opening up right after the drywall. This thing is some expensive junk. I am sticking to my Gold Dots. Great video RatedRR
Same thoughts with my .40 180gr PDX1... twice or more as expensive for a SLOW, LIGHT 9mm with obviously lackluster penetration (and I'm not even a penetrating kinda guy ;-) Nnnnaaahhh. Maybe if they amped up the speed...50%
My thoughts exactly! It's funny how weight retention is such an important factor when evaluating defensive ammunition, yet people lose their minds when something does just the opposite. The average shooter needs a serious lesson in terminal ballistics, and the buzz around this round is proof. I'll stick with my HSTs.
1blackdeath51501 "Shock Areas"...Seriously? This isn't even a real term! Do you mean "shock" as in hydrostatic shock? Or are you just trying to refer to trauma? Either way, penetration leads to incapacitation. This has been proven time and time again by reputable studies done by real scientists. If you don't agree, then just go back to shooting your safety slugs and birdshot, but please don't spread your ignorance around any further.
1blackdeath51501 R Horton Maybe I'd be more convinced if these tests were done with the traditional two layers of denim difficulty setting instead of on 'Very Easy'
Been making my own like this for years. But not for a 9mm. Good to see my brain isn't too far off point, or theirs isn't too far off. Either way I enjoy seeing the slow motion of the crap.
No, hollow point is standard self defense ammo, it also prevents over penetration. There's nothing worse than hitting the bad guy, but then having the FMJ bullet pass through him into an innocent person.
Fred5612 Makes sense, during war we are all "good" people trying to defend our countries, but if someone break into our own home, and try to do something to our family, he doesn't deserve any compassion.
CLOTHING, is the REAL test of this bullet being able to perform as designed and claimed. What happens when the bullet has to travel through clothing and how much clothing does it take to prevent the bullet from expanding (shards detaching) ?
i dont believe in war , by the way we are new movement in muslim countries , you can call us (the protestants muslims) we want muslims to remain on quran only , and let go the sayings of preachers with beards and sayings that assembled to prophet mohammed,\\ there will be no hijab no beards no hate on every one in (20-50)years that will come , remember my words
This ammo is marketing hype. Doesn't have enough penetration. Ballistics gel simulates muscle tissue, not bones, skin and cartilage. This round basically does GREAT in gel!, but its worthless in the human body.
***** When it comes to ballistics penetration is key. Those breaking pedals do great in tissue, but lack the weight to BUST through a ribcage or sternum. The body isn't made of pure muscle (ballistics gel), it has bones and other hard substances. The only thing worth while in this round is the "penetrator" in the rear. The real question is how effective is the lead penetrator? Well the penetrator is about as good as a .380 FMJ. Why would i want useless trocars and a extremely light- weight penetrator while i can buy a 9mm 124 grain JHP that can expand to .45 caliber, have the power to bust through a rib cage/sternum and still RETAIN its 124 grain weight to do damage to the internals? Weight retention, penetration, energy and shot placement are whats important. For instance i could take a 12 gauge shotgun with number 9 target loads ( 750ish pellets about the size of a large grain of sand) and blow a ballistics gel block to pieces... does that mean that a 12 gauge with bird shot is effective at stopping a threat? NO! The small pellets are extremely light and don't have the penetration to pass through tough skin, a rib cage, cartilage and maybe a sternum... but it sure looks impressive on ballistics gel with a high FPS camera!! I understand human anatomy and basic science.
TheMango121 Reading your posts here my hope in mankind is renewed. You are a breath of fresh air in a sea of stupidity and ignorance that I read everyday. You have accurately presented and articulated the facts of this ammunition... the laws of physics and human physiology cannot be ignored. Thank you, sir.
Pure BS. loses most of it's weight straight off, doesn't penetrate deeply enough. only 1/4th of the weight goes through. Better off with a good hollowpoint that flowers out and created a bigger wound channel.'
Too much penetration and your killing those behind your target. Hell we could get FMJ if you wanted penetration then you could get that multi-kill streak toward getting that attack chopper
I love guns and i belive in the 2nd ammendment even if it is arhaic in nature. Even though these bullets are very well made and are difinately engineered to kill extremely efficiently... i dont think that these bullets should exist. The overkill factor is over the top. Shooting someone with ball ammo or even a regular hollow point is enough for close quarters perrsonal defense. These bullets are made to kill and render the wound un-operably by a surgeon. If a criminal went on a shooting spree with these. There would be little to no survivors. Even in a personal defense situation your best bet is to wound an assailant not kill him. You could shoot someone in the leg with this round and odds are one of its 8 leaflets would sever an artery. I dont think this is a humane projectile.
I would never pull my firearn with expectaions of the target walking away. If I'm forced to draw down then its already at a point of no return. But I carry a 10mm..so really doesnt matter what round.
I believe the term you were trying to use is "inoperable". Ugh. Illiterate people trying to sound intelligent in a debate are very tedious and frustrating to me.
As much as I love my guns, I really do not support ammunition such as this for civilian use. At least with a shotgun, you can find the entry wounds of most pellets. I would hate to be on the other end of the barrel with this ammo, but thats just me...
shmimbadad I never said that wasn't the point, but I do not plan on being in any situation in which I am on the other end, and hope that no individual takes it into their hand to put me there...
If you pull out your gun in a self defense situation and you are not expecting to destroy or kill what you are pointing at I wouldn't recommend carrying a gun. It's not the ideal choice to kill another human being but I want this person stopped as soon as possible and if ammunition like this is going to neutralize my threat faster I'm going to use it.
I love these vids. That being said I cannot see why this kind of ammo should be widely available. It just seems so much more lethal than regular rounds and the point of, say, home defence should be to incapacitate, not kill, the intruder. Thoughts?
That's nice. Why do you love them? Is it the cinematography? Is it the subject matter? To choose the best available resources to protect your life, your family, and your freedoms. These are unalienable human rights. It is buy no means anymore "lethal" than your standard FMJ or hollow point round. There is one purpose for a lethal ammunition, that is to kill, hence the "lethal" part. It is not designed to maim or incapcitate without high probability of causing severe bodily harm or death. You aim center mass of your target and fire until the threat is gone. If that means your target dies, so be it. There are non-lethal options if you think your target is not going to commit severe bodily harm or death against you or your family. Thoughts?
jameskgeary Ha! Nice one. :P ***** I love the slow-motion shots. I love to see the effect of different bullets on different materials. I find gunmanship quite interesting.
These rounds are LESS lethal, because they are a bad design that is not very effective. As far as incapacitate rather than kill..the goal is to stop the attacker, not kill the attacker. Sadly many times the only way to do that is with killing.
"Regular rounds" for home/self defense are hollow points. This isn't all that big of an improvement. And it would seem that the more lethal that a bullet is, the faster a threat would be incapacitated. You presumably wouldn't have to shoot as many times to achieve incapacitation either.
No, no it does not. It does a lot more damage than any .22, to say otherwise is just saying stupid shit for the sake of saying stupid shit. Do I like this round? No. I would not touch this round after seeing all of the third party testing. It is, as far as I am concerned, a hype-fueled, polished sack of shit. But I would use it over a .22 if needs be. Course, I do believe I know where you are getting your bullshit line, which is from the "Test" done on the Truth About Guns where the author "replicated" the damage cause by 1 of these rounds, with 7-8 bullets fired from a .22. Which really, proves your point as complete bullshit. Please stop saying blatantly obvious, pathetic lies.

CLOTHING, is the REAL test of this bullet being able to perform as designed and claimed. What happens when the bullet has to travel through clothing and how much clothing does it take to prevent the bullet from expanding (shards detaching) ?
What the hell is that ice like thing ?
Ballistic gel.
thanks alot

ballistic gel simulates a human body. this would be a wonderful video for all the Liberals to see, who are screaming for war in the streets.
i dont believe in war , by the way we are new movement in muslim countries , you can call us (the protestants muslims) we want muslims to remain on quran only , and let go the sayings of preachers with beards and sayings that assembled to prophet mohammed,\\ there will be no hijab no beards no hate on every one in (20-50)years that will come , remember my words
That first shot was awesome.
This ammo is marketing hype.
Doesn't have enough penetration.
Ballistics gel simulates muscle tissue, not bones, skin and cartilage.
This round basically does GREAT in gel!, but its worthless in the human body.
*****
When it comes to ballistics penetration is key. Those breaking pedals do great in tissue, but lack the weight to BUST through a ribcage or sternum. The body isn't made of pure muscle (ballistics gel), it has bones and other hard substances. The only thing worth while in this round is the "penetrator" in the rear. The real question is how effective is the lead penetrator? Well the penetrator is about as good as a .380 FMJ. Why would i want useless trocars and a extremely light- weight penetrator while i can buy a 9mm 124 grain JHP that can expand to .45 caliber, have the power to bust through a rib cage/sternum and still RETAIN its 124 grain weight to do damage to the internals?
Weight retention, penetration, energy and shot placement are whats important.
For instance i could take a 12 gauge shotgun with number 9 target loads ( 750ish pellets about the size of a large grain of sand) and blow a ballistics gel block to pieces... does that mean that a 12 gauge with bird shot is effective at stopping a threat? NO! The small pellets are extremely light and don't have the penetration to pass through tough skin, a rib cage, cartilage and maybe a sternum... but it sure looks impressive on ballistics gel with a high FPS camera!!
I understand human anatomy and basic science.
Aright man how about we put one .40 S&W hollow point in your chest and see if you're still standing after.

What are you talking about....?
TheMango121 He doesn't know, he just wanted to belong. Or kill someone.
TheMango121 Reading your posts here my hope in mankind is renewed. You are a breath of fresh air in a sea of stupidity and ignorance that I read everyday.
You have accurately presented and articulated the facts of this ammunition... the laws of physics and human physiology cannot be ignored. Thank you, sir.
I wanna see this round hit a wind shield and a piece of bulletproof glass. Keep up the good work.
Что-то новенькое)
Класс!!
Really like the gel testing, maybe some other calibers and weapons with gel testing and variations. Good stuff!
Pure BS. loses most of it's weight straight off, doesn't penetrate deeply enough. only 1/4th of the weight goes through. Better off with a good hollowpoint that flowers out and created a bigger wound channel.'
whats the difference between dead and dead?? The size of the mess there is to clean up?
Too much penetration and your killing those behind your target. Hell we could get FMJ if you wanted penetration then you could get that multi-kill streak toward getting that attack chopper
Cool ammo! Cool vid!
I love guns and i belive in the 2nd ammendment even if it is arhaic in nature. Even though these bullets are very well made and are difinately engineered to kill extremely efficiently... i dont think that these bullets should exist. The overkill factor is over the top. Shooting someone with ball ammo or even a regular hollow point is enough for close quarters perrsonal defense. These bullets are made to kill and render the wound un-operably by a surgeon. If a criminal went on a shooting spree with these. There would be little to no survivors. Even in a personal defense situation your best bet is to wound an assailant not kill him. You could shoot someone in the leg with this round and odds are one of its 8 leaflets would sever an artery. I dont think this is a humane projectile.
Gonzo Gaming I'm amazed you don't believe in shoot-to-kill.
“I don’t mind a bullet that kills, I just don’t want a bullet to kill them this bad”
I would never pull my firearn with expectaions of the target walking away. If I'm forced to draw down then its already at a point of no return. But I carry a 10mm..so really doesnt matter what round.
perhaps you should turn all your weapons in as they are way overkill compared to a slingshot.........
I believe the term you were trying to use is "inoperable". Ugh. Illiterate people trying to sound intelligent in a debate are very tedious and frustrating to me.
Damn that was outrageous man
As much as I love my guns, I really do not support ammunition such as this for civilian use. At least with a shotgun, you can find the entry wounds of most pellets. I would hate to be on the other end of the barrel with this ammo, but thats just me...
shmimbadad I never said that wasn't the point, but I do not plan on being in any situation in which I am on the other end, and hope that no individual takes it into their hand to put me there...
If you pull out your gun in a self defense situation and you are not expecting to destroy or kill what you are pointing at I wouldn't recommend carrying a gun. It's not the ideal choice to kill another human being but I want this person stopped as soon as possible and if ammunition like this is going to neutralize my threat faster I'm going to use it.
His videos are amazing. Simply FUCKING AMAZING!!!
I love these vids. That being said I cannot see why this kind of ammo should be widely available. It just seems so much more lethal than regular rounds and the point of, say, home defence should be to incapacitate, not kill, the intruder.
Thoughts?
You make a good point, until the intruder sues you.

That's nice. Why do you love them? Is it the cinematography? Is it the subject matter?
To choose the best available resources to protect your life, your family, and your freedoms. These are unalienable human rights.
It is buy no means anymore "lethal" than your standard FMJ or hollow point round.
There is one purpose for a lethal ammunition, that is to kill, hence the "lethal" part. It is not designed to maim or incapcitate without high probability of causing severe bodily harm or death. You aim center mass of your target and fire until the threat is gone. If that means your target dies, so be it. There are non-lethal options if you think your target is not going to commit severe bodily harm or death against you or your family.
Thoughts?
jameskgeary Ha! Nice one. :P
***** I love the slow-motion shots. I love to see the effect of different bullets on different materials. I find gunmanship quite interesting.
These rounds are LESS lethal, because they are a bad design that is not very effective.
As far as incapacitate rather than kill..the goal is to stop the attacker, not kill the attacker. Sadly many times the only way to do that is with killing.
"Regular rounds" for home/self defense are hollow points. This isn't all that big of an improvement. And it would seem that the more lethal that a bullet is, the faster a threat would be incapacitated. You presumably wouldn't have to shoot as many times to achieve incapacitation either.
That is one wicked round
this round does less damage than an HP 22
No, no it does not. It does a lot more damage than any .22, to say otherwise is just saying stupid shit for the sake of saying stupid shit.
Do I like this round? No. I would not touch this round after seeing all of the third party testing. It is, as far as I am concerned, a hype-fueled, polished sack of shit. But I would use it over a .22 if needs be.
Course, I do believe I know where you are getting your bullshit line, which is from the "Test" done on the Truth About Guns where the author "replicated" the damage cause by 1 of these rounds, with 7-8 bullets fired from a .22. Which really, proves your point as complete bullshit. Please stop saying blatantly obvious, pathetic lies.
Tell us what you won't be doing! Haha love the video man.
music sucks
Glad to see you delve into the hoopla surrounding these rounds. I'm still not sure I'm convinced they are more than just a gimmick round.
That is amazingly clear ballistics gel.
Awesome ! Thanks a lot for this Test. I would like if you do more Ammo Tests on Ballistik blocks :)
Awesome stuff!
What is the musica in 3:00? thanks
