First review of the G2 RIP 9mm Round



Shootingthebull410 has posted an initial review of the much hyped G2 R.I.P. round in 9mm. First things first, getting shot at by any round is not good. Whats going on here is it's a 96 gr 9mm going at over 1200 fps. From there it's supposed to hit soft tissue and create 9 wound channels. A very lightweight 9mm is not new. In the 80's there was the 9mm B.A.T. round by Geco. What you had with the B.A.T. was an 86 gr hollow point 9mm going at 1400 FPS. It was a HP round that had a cap on the tip of the bullet, that would  aid in feeding the round into chamber and fall off after leaving the barrel. The only thing now is will the RIP round stand the test of time? Or will it be one of those "Do you remember"..... rounds.

Remember the 9mm Blitz Aktion Trauma round?
