[QUOTE="ASP785, post: 2393756, member: 12170"] My take on the matter is more of the opposite, I am skeptical of the penetration claims. If you take a look at a 77 grain MK262 loading, you see this projectile sheds its jacket into a bunch of little pieces and the remaining mass penetrates about 12-13". It creates a massive wound channel in ballistic gel, but its performance on barriers is poor. It's similar in concept to this round in its fragmentation. I am skeptical that a pistol projectile with a mass of only 96 grains can shed that mass into multiple fragments and penetrate 16+ inches. A solid copper, non fragmenting 55 grain Barnes bullet will penetrate just over 16" in calibrated ballistic gel. I am not saying its impossible, but I just want to see some independent testing before I will buy the hype. The released marketing videos are impressive. 55 grain Barnes [url]http://www.ar15.com/ammo/project/Ballistic_Gel_Experiments/BARNES/Barnes_5.56_55gr_TAC-X.pdf[/url] 77 grain Mk262 Mod 1 [url]http://www.ar15.com/ammo/project/Ballistic_Gel_Experiments/BTAmmoLabsTest6/Test6.htm[/url] [/QUOTE]
