Looks REALLY nasty! G2 Research's R.I.P. Imagine a Hole saw. The hole saw action that occurs at points of entry into different mediums reduce initial drag which allow the hollow cavity in the center of the projectile to rapidly pack. In the case of plywood the hole saw action cleanly cuts and packs the projectile with a slug that makes it solid thus allowing it to conserve more of its energy. This performance could prove to be very effective in a situation where the target is behind such an obstacle whereas more energy will be carried into the intended target and not lost in the obstacle. In a fluid the projectile fragments. Due to the trocar geometry of each petal the resulting diameter of the fragmentation pattern is maximized. The trocar tips allow the fragments to swim through tissue / gel with less resistance thus conserving energy. The cross sectional thicknesses and geometries also create a full 180 degree flip halfway along each of the 8 petals path. The resulting shock wave and wound path is maximized. The result is devastating. Video here...... g2rip.com/I have to wonder about chambering problems since some guns have issues with regular hollow points.

Could be problematic in an auto loader.
Does it come in .357?

There shouldn't be issues with revolvers TC, though I don't know of any off hand that are chambered in .380 or 9mm (moon clips?). I'm with 101, it may give some autoloaders indigestion, some just don't like anything but ball ammo.
