"R.I.P." marketing will appeal to the Mall Ninjas. I'll stick with Double taps.
Hey it just might work, who knows. However, as mentioned, the name RIP would surely fall into a scum-sucking lawyers hands in a wrongful death lawsuit, no matter how "Good" the shoot was.
It does look cool/wicked :yikes: don't it? Reminds me of some .45 ACP I saw that was called "Grippers" or something for shootin bowling pins in matches that would grab/bite the slick porcelain better.

I'd rather have my sister work in a whorehouse than own another Taurus!
The advertising is gimmicky, but if the projectile peforms as well in actual flesh as it does in their ballistics gel tests, it will have nasty wound potential on target.

Now that's just plain mean and inhumane to use the awesome power of a .410 on ballistic gelatin :yikes::rotflmao::rotflmao:

I did not see the need to go out and reinvent the wheel when it has already been perfected
I agree.
That said, the video results on the gelatin look pretty cool.
After watching multiple ballistics gel test in slow-mo, and comparing it the the block that RIP is getting 16" of penetration in......I don't think their using "industry standard" gel. A .380 ball round will usually penetrate a little over 10" to 12". RIP is trying to say that a round that starts out at the same weight, looses about half of itself as well as a tremendous amount of velocity upon impact, still retains enough energy to get 16" deep.......shenani-freakin-gans!
and........"is taking the market by storm and has gun owners all over the country trying to find where to pick some up."
You guys better get on board or miss out on the next best thing since..............well..........procreation?
:guns:
You do bring up a good point about making sure he ballistics gel is "calibrated"
Me too (not mine though).
:gasp:
The add was RIGHT!!!!
You know why you need multiple wound channels? Because you failed to put one of them in the right place to begin with.
I'll stick with flat nose cast solids TYVM.:roll:

Of course the manufacturers had to have the requisite automatic weapon in their video.
Tamara sums it up much better than I can, but yeah.....what she said.
