Saw the ads, watched the videos then thought about it for a while. Here is a 96-grain projectile designed to shed over half it's mass immediately on impact with man-flesh (assuming that it hasn't shed a bunch impacting other stuff on the way to the man-flesh, or maybe they've trained it to tell the difference). Anyway, this now approximately 45-grain bullet has to penetrate muscle-mass and bone (not present in ballistic gel) to reach the vital innards of the target. The perp may bleed to death (eventually) from all those shed fragments but he's gonna have a lot of time to do the shooter harm. As for that "goes through barriers like a spinning hole-saw blade" claim; must have been made by someone who has never used a hole-saw on anything more resistant than balsa wood!
This stuff will sell to Mall-Ninjas and others who get their ballistic data from video games and the Sci-Fi Channel and it's appearance will terrify Congressional nitwits who will use it as an excuse to push for more infringement. R.I.P. is magazine-candy for the ignorant.
