rip 9mm ammo Performance

While the rip 9mm 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.

While the concept of hollow-point bullets and RIP rounds have been debated in the past, the US government has not taken the official leap to outlaw this type of bullet.
