Obviously the Department of Defense needs a better marketing team.03Lightningrocks wrote:It is amazing how much damage a 5.56 FMJ Nato round can do with no trickery, exploding pins or cross cut patterns of titanium infused plastics. Just a simple bullet.

Re: New RIP Ammo
In some markets "Cool" sells.wrinkles wrote:They are cashing in on the fact that it looks cool specially in slow mo. The misconception that temporary stretch cavity causes reliable wounding. That the measure a a good round is speed and foot pounds of KE. That few people know the difference between temporary stretch cavity and permanent crush cavity. That large temp cavity shown in ballistics gel is not actually crush cavity, crush cavity is the small sub-diameter hole that follows the projectile while those cool large clouds in gel are stretch cavity.

New? Not really. IMO, another gimmick that will fade fast.
You've got to give it those marketing guys, always a new idea.
Buy a box and try to sell it in about 20 years as a collectors item.
I think this round will R.I.P. very quickly.
For me at any price point.Beiruty wrote:
At what price point? At 80 cents/rd, I will consider to try a box or two. At least it is offering 425 ft.lb of Muzzle Energy.
That 425 ft lbs is muzzle energy. Most of that energy will be lost the moment the bullet fragments.
