New G2 Research personal defense rounds

[JTapper]

http://www.conservativeinfidel.com/2nd- ... -drooling/

As of now, the company is only releasing specifications for their 9mm round and they go a lil’ something like this:

* 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

Looks like quite the round. I wonder what the cost of something like this is though. Not only do you have the material cost of a solid copper bullet, but the CNC machining as well.

Look pretty mean! GI makes these bullets for the 50 GI. They are $62.50/50 just for the solid copper bullets.

Would the G2 bullet even feed in many semi-auto's? I know in a video they probably do, but I've seen 1911's fire 20 time or more without reloading too.

I will stick to Speer Gold Dot factory ammo in my 45.

X10 (exactly what I was thinking)

Hey look everybody, they are selling magic bullets. NO one has ever done that before.

My thoughts exactly. Another wonder bullet which won't live up to it's hype.

You guys are making the common mistake that all common sense people do, you are analyzing it's practability and looking at the facts.
All wrong, the evil look of the bullet and the feel good sales presentation will be more than enough to sell this fabulously designed looking bullet.

[gunforhire]

here's a question:

so, when lead goes scarace, prices go up and we need to design a new projectile, do you think they will be more like this or will it be a copper alloy with a polymer tip like a XTP for self defense? I certainly hope it's the latter, but I am no metallurgist

[Rip Van Winkle]

Lead will never be scarce, but that doesn't mean government won't create a crisis and ban it. I suspect when that happens we'll be shooting solid copper/bronze bullets like those produced by Barnes.

If you look at the comment of the guy that you are calling an expert, he states he's a dentist.

Not that I disagree with what he said.

However, this concept looks remarkably like the CEB Raptor bullets that on some hunting forums are being touted as the "only bullet you will ever need" (those are intended for DG hunting) with the only real difference being the porportion of the base solid shank and the fragmenting portions; and the picture that was shown is remarkably like what one sees from a Berger bullet that is being touted as great for hunting as well. (also rifle, which is again a horse of a different color than handgun bullets and their energy.) Its possible that after tweaking the round that it may well work fine, especially after the greenies make us shoot only nonlead containing projectiles.

Bingo. Cept 9mm for me
