Talked to a guy selling this stuff, he made some big claims. It makes a .380 as powerful as a .45. I doubt it. It looks like a tiny bullet going insane speeds. Looks like it will make a nasty wound but maybe not penetrate like the FBI requirement?
Very expensive, so I can't afford to practice with it. Anyone use this?
There's one born every minute, and two to take him; suckers that is.
That being said it is an interesting area to experiment with and might actually have an extremely small niche in which it could serve well. Not something the general public needs; but, if they want to spend their money on it having been convinced that they should buy it, that is the American way.
People have been trying to invent magic bullets for a long time, but the laws of physics still apply. You can trade off weight for velocity, but you can't create energy or momentum with good bullet design. The best you can do is optimize the balance between penetration and expansion. Good modern designs are so good it's really hard to improve on them.
What i find "alarming" is that there is not a single picture of a projectile on theit webside. Only loads of "hot air" testimonials.
THV anyone?
