You may need an Adobe account to view this on the cloud. A set of compilation data sheets is also included to better compare shot results and averages. The individual shot data produced during this test has all been measured and recorded and is included in the full agency/LE version of the report. Representative data of a real target is needed for instruction and selection. The comparison of effective handgun ammunition for federal, state and local agencies is critical and complex. It combines the knowledge and results of previous federal wound ballistics tests, verifies those results and uses medically recommended animal tissue media to create new relevant realistic data. This report brings together the most credible information regarding wound ballistics. The training company ensured continuity, consistency and accuracy of all tests and generated the final report for all involved. It is being hosted by a private training company and includes testers and experts from these multiple agencies. The 2016/17 Joint Agency Ballistic Test For Defensive Handgun Ammunition was conducted by several Federal, State and Local government agencies as well as security teams, contractors and ballistics experts. The report was conducted over the course of two years. This report was conducted at the request of individuals at the DOD, DOJ, and US Marshals. solids with other shapes, we have to take such claims with a whole handful of salt. And until smart science guys tell us that the magical flutes improve wounding vs. But the appearance of the disturbance in the gel isn't a simulation of what a wound would look like in real tissue. Additionally, it can give us a relative comparison of how long it takes for a bullet to begin to expand, yaw or fragment (neck length) or how relatively large the TSC is. It produces penetration, expansion/fragmentation, and retained weight measurements that correlate strongly with those observed in real tissue. Ballistic gel isn't a direct simulation of human tissue. If I pronounce something to be effective, it is because I observed performance in the gel that matches performance that smart guys have told us is indicative of good performance in tissue. Remember that what I do is informal, but our comparisons of gel performance should be consistent with results of credible researchers. So to unpack, Extreme Penetrator doesn't actually penetrate very extremely, but some amateur ballistic testers saw disruptions in gel, which they pronounced to be indicative of wounding without any scientific research to support their observation. I recently did a test for TFB TV where 10mm Underwood 220 gr hard cast penetrated through more than five FEET of gel and was still trucking while the 140 gr EP penetrated less than half as deep. Not any deeper than a heavy for caliber hard cast, anyway. It's also worth noting that the original selling point of Extreme Penetrator was bullshit. Remember that ballistic gel can show disturbance due to temporary stretching that does not actually translate to wounding in real, living tissue. But there is no independent, scientifically credible research that this disruption in the gel translates to improved wounding in tissue. It is true that these fluted bullets do cause more disruption in gel than similar weight solids with more traditional design at similar velocities. Until some YouTube guys started pointing out how "devastating" the wound channel was in gel. They originally marketed the EP line without any claim of improved wounding. Lehigh also makes the Extreme Penetrator and Extreme Defense line of fluted projectiles. It's useful in rifle rounds because the fragments help to increase the size of the TSC and initiate tearing. ![]() Fragmentation is not desirable in pistol rounds because velocity is not sufficient for the TSC to contribute to wounding. They make a "controlled fracturing hollow point" pistol bullet that works about the same way as RIP. But their gimmicky reputation comes from their other products. It functions as claimed and relies on a well documented wounding mechanism. View QuoteIn regard to this design, sure. ![]()
