The R.I.P Bullet is Designed to Fragment into Eight Pieces
Mesel Isaac — February 23, 2014 — Tech
If you’ve long felt that bullets were not as deadly as they could be, I am happy to report that G2 Research has created the R.I.P Bullet.
Billed as “the last round you’ll ever need,” the Radically Invasive Projectile or R.I.P Bullet is designed to fragment into eight different pieces upon impact and “take out all your vital organs.” The R.I.P Bullet is capable of penetrating through sheet rock, plywood, sheet metal and glass, though it should be noted that the projectile is incapable of penetrating the body armor that law enforcement officials wear.
The company states that the main market for the R.I.P round were women. The company President Cliff Brown, recounted how he had heard many stories of women who would shoot home intruders five or six times and the intruders would continue to come after them. The R.I.P Bullet is designed to put down any home intruder with a single shot.
