CBBN, or anyone else here.......has anyone here purchased and used, or even tested this new ammunition? Is this a twist on "frangible" ammunition? Or is it something totally different?
Our agency amorer/Rangemaster and I have spoken about this ammunition, and he said he is going to contact Ruger to see about acquiring some for some Testing & Evaluation for our needs here at the Sheriff's Office.
In looking at some of the basic specs for these rounds, they appear to be very lightweight and travel at very high velocities, with supposedly light recoil for faster target reacquisition. Some of the velocities stated match or surpass. 357 magnum velocities. But will it penetrate a car door or a vehicle windshield and strike a suspect with the necessary blunt force trauma to stop them behind such barriers?
