Rip ammo 9mm Product Overview
This Rip ammo 9mm called G2 Research R.I.P. Ammunition 9mm Luger 92 Grain Radically Invasive Projectile Fragmenting Solid Copper Lead-Free Box of 20
Rip 9mm ammo is a premium self defense, and environmentally conscious defense/hunting ammunition manufacturer.
G2 Research’s vast understanding of material properties and utilization of complex geometries renders predictable and consistent results that maximize the effectiveness of its solid copper/lead free projectiles.
The G2 Research R.I.P. (Radically Invasive Projectile) features a unique one hundred percent copper petaled-trocar design which gives it the ability to not only penetrate deep into a target but also fragment in fluid.
Upon entering a gel or fluid the petals break from the base and create individual wound channels as the base continues on course.
This penetration and separation delivers not only a maximum shock wave but wound path as well.
In years of ammunition design there has always been a trade off between mass and velocity to accomplish the goal of effective stopping power. G2 Research added a third variable with the patented trocar design.
The surgically designed trocars offer better barrier penetration thus maintaining a higher velocity when hitting a target, transferring more energy into the target.
This ammunition is new production, non-corrosive, in boxer primed, reloadable brass cases.

The 9mm RIP round is a CNC-machined, 96 grain copper bullet.
The RIP round is currently available in 9mm and .380.
However, G2 says they will have an RIP round for the .357, .40, .45, and even a shotgun slug.
The bullet is a hollow point with the tip split into eight sections, each being about six grain.
The round is designed to split into eight different rods upon impact with each traveling outward from the center.
This leaves a core of 50-60 grain to penetrate straight through.
G2 calls the tip their Trocar design, and it creates eight additional wound channels from one round.

rip 9mm ammo Performance
While the 9mm RIP ammo looks nifty with an intimidating design, it is not all that unique or effective.
Companies have been toying around with fragmenting rounds for decades.
For example, air marshals are constantly looking for a round that will stop a target without puncturing the thin walls of an aircraft.
If a bullet would completely fragment and stay within the body of their target, that would be the perfect product for their job.
Those that feared the deadly power of this round described the 9mm RIP ammo as a bullet throwing shrapnel in all directions.
This is far from accurate. If the round threw shrapnel like an explosive does, there would be significant chunks of metal flying in all directions.
The tiny 6 grain rods that break off of this round only penetrate about three to four inches.
They create some additional damage, but do not make the RIP any more lethal than a normal hollow point.
The majority of the damage is done by the core which penetrates to around 14 inches.
There are other issues to consider. When we say that the rods from the Tricor tip penetrated three to four inches, it was seen in ballistic gel.
This means they did not come into contact with any bone.
We expect that these rods would not make it through the bone that would be present in an upper chest shot.
Chances are that the only part of the round that would hit vital organs would be the core.
However, this presents another issue. The core is only 50-60 grain and is long and thin.
The wound channel created by this core is very narrow and would not do a great deal of damage.
In most cases shooting an assailant with this round would have a similar effect to shooting the assailant with a smaller caliber handgun.
Those that criticize the round as too lethal said that the Tricor tip acted like a ‘hole saw’ as it impacted the human body.
This is simply not the case.
The RIP round may be ideal for apartments or condos where you would prefer not to disturb the little old lady in 2B as you take out an attacker. However, it is not the ultimate hand of death that people expected.
The one factor that is very difficult to compare is the shock wave created when a bullet hits the body.
Many people have said that the fragmentation of the 9mm RIP ammo is designed mainly to create this shockwave at the point of impact.
There is no way to quantify this effect with ballistic gel or targets.
In my research of ammo for my deer rifle, I have read that the shockwave .
It is created by certain high velocity rounds will disrupt the nervous system of a deer and cause it to drop in its tracks.
I am sure it is the same principle with the RIP ammo.
I did find a review that described a set of tests performed comparing the RIP rounds with standard 9mm hollow point rounds.
There was one test that I feel shows the effect of the shock wave produced by the RIP round.
A watermelon about ten inches in diameter was placed on a post and shot with a standard hollow point.
The melon exploded into large chunks that were thrown about 15 feet in every direction.
Then the experiment was repeated with the RIP round.
The watermelon literally disintegrated and debris was found 40 feet from the post.
So that makes for a tough decision.
Many people have said that the 9mm RIP ammo is no more effective than a .22 LR. T
he argument really comes down priorities.
Is the shock wave created by the round more important, or is the size and depth of the wound channel more important?
One could justifiably argue both sides.

rip 9mm ammo conclusion:
In my opinion, G2 Research should send a royalty check to all those cry-babies that criticized the 9mm RIP ammo as being too lethal.
They actually helped fuel sales of the rounds by hyping the ammo as being more powerful than it actually is.
There have been plenty of consumers that have purchased the round with high expectations and then posted negative reviews about the performance of the round.
I am going to say that the vast majority of the comments I have heard or read about the 9mm RIP ammo is negative.
However, the ones that tout the effectiveness of the ammo are convincing and passionate.
This decision is not just about which round is potentially more effective. The RIP round is newer technology.
I have years of experience with standard hollow points and trust that they will do the job.
The price difference is large enough that I cannot convince myself to make the change.
My final decision is that sticking with conventional hollow point rounds is a safer bet than the 9mm RIP ammo.
While it looks mean and it employs an interesting concept, the results do not lie.
It has been proven that standard hollow point rounds will penetrate and put down an attacker.
If I have to trust my life or the lives of my family to one round, this is not the round.
In this case the original design is better, and I will keep using my classic hollow points.
