    I wouldnt be surprised if there was already legislation in the works to ban this ammo but the concept is fascinating. I love the balloon shot.

    Those are some big time claims. What it does to a gelatin block is pretty damn impressive.

    * 16″ Penetration
    * Up to 6″ diameter spread
    * 96 gr projectile
    * 2″ grouping at 25 yrds
    * 1265 FPS / 490 Muzzle Energy
    * 9 Separate Wound Channels
    * Precision Machined
    * Solid Copper / Lead Free
    * Defeats all known barriers such as sheet metal, sheet rock, windshields, plywood, heavy winter clothing

    ...because the fence-sitters and people who could potentially vote to help our cause are really going to be won over by this. Might as well call it "SUPER DUPER DEATH KILL 9000!".

    Can't watch the videos right now, but it does seem to be an EPA friendly round...

    ETA: also, based on the title, I thought this thread was going to be about the demise of the 9mm round. Lol

    I smell gimmick ... gimmick with cheesy marketing.

    Its still only a 96gr projectile that breaks off into a bunch of tiny projectiles when it hits soft tissue ... so there's just not as much energy as a heavier, intact JHP.

    It's just a scarier looking frangible ... and why don't we have a yawning smiley?

    Energy is roughly the same as any 115gr 9mm+P round, lighter projectile but higher velocity. The penetration looks to be adequate, expansion being initiated through fluidics, much like Golden Saber or Ranger T. CNC is going to make these stupidly expensive, though, and as others have mentioned, they could just name it the Baby Slayer 9000 Extra Killer round and save the media the trouble. I won't be buying any of these any time soon...
