Stopping PowerMyths Addressed!

Bigger Bullet? Better Bullet? Faster Bullet?

FASTER BULLET? (Expansion is key, but Velocity is KING!)High Velocity –The answer to reliable bullet expansion. High velocity is

obtained by optimum choices in gun powder selection. The greater the veloc-ity, the more violently the bullet will expand. This causes enhanced shock tothe nervous system and increases the chance of incapacitation. High poweredrifles are known to have the highest velocity. That is why a rifle’s stoppingpower is much more efficient than a handgun. When choosing a handgunfor self-defense a person should choose ammunition that can supply thehighest amount of velocity, safely.Bullet expansion in conjunction with high velocity is what creates a

larger than caliber wound channel. It also facilitates transfer of energyand increases tissue damage. Bullets must expand every time for optimalperformance. Hollowpoints that do not expand will stop fights with oneshot, but only 60-70% of the time. Hollowpoints that expand will comein at 75-90%. Hollowpoints that expand violently are 85-95% effective.

GETTING TECHNICAL:To simulate how a bullet will perform, we shoot our bullets into a medium

called ordnance gelatin. Ordnance gelatin is designed to simulate the densityand elasticity of human flesh. We cover the ordnance gelatin with four layersof 10oz denim to simulate heavy clothing. All COR®BON ammo is tested inordnance gelatin, we measure the total penetration depth of the bullet, therecovered diameter and the percentage of weight retention. From theseresults, the size of the permanent (crush) and the temporary (stretch)cavities are calculated. Bullets that expand produce larger crush cavitiesthan bullets which do not expand. As the volume of the crush cavity increases,so does the stopping power. The crush cavity is a good indicator of stoppingpower at lower impact velocities. The size and shape of the temporary cavityis also measured and evaluated. Bullets that expand violently produce larger,more effective stretch cavities than bullets which expand slowly or marginally.

BIGGER BULLET?In previous years, it has been thought that a heavier bullet of large diameter

provided the best stopping power. This was the idea, behind the adoption ofthe .45 ACP round for U.S. military use, when only full metal jacketed bulletswere available. However, we now know that bullet size alone is not the answer,since it is feasible that full metal jacket .45 bullets can whistle through anattacker without stopping him. Today, it is our contention that the best self-defense loads are high velocity expanding bullets. It should be of adequatecaliber that a person can handle safely and accurately. This load shouldemphasize speed over weight and be carried in a concealable handgun thatis comfortable to carry. Bigger is not always better.

BETTER BULLET?An effective self-defense load must deliver two basic fundamentals, bullet

expansion and penetration. Some bullet designs look good in magazine ads,but larger expansion and deeper penetration are the critical elements tostopping a fight instantly. The construction of a bullet is one crucial factorof its performance. With traditional Hollowpoints, they must havea soft lead core and a thin jacket, along with a hollowpointthat is large enough for material to get inside and push out-ward on the walls to enhance its expansion. If the hollow-point is too small or the lead is too hard then it will notexpand enough to perform well. It also must haveadequate penetration without over penetrating.This is the key to a better bullet. However,there is one exception to this, DPX. Thisbullet construction is all copper and hasa large enough hollowpoint to exceedtraditional expansion expectations.

As the volume of this stretch cavity increases so does stopping power. Thestretch cavity is a good indicator of stopping power at higher impact velocities.But expansion in ordnance gelatin tells us only part of the story. In an actual

gunfight, slower Hollowpoints can often become plugged with clothing material.When a bullet lacks velocity it performs like a round nose bullet, expandinghardly at all. To be an effective stopper, a bullet must have enough velocity toexpand whether plugged with debris or not. It needs to expand and dissipateits energy within the target to effectively create stopping power. In the case ofPow’RBall bullets, the hollowpoint is protected by a polymer ball which preventsplugging. The ball also delays expansion to allow the bullet to obtain optimumpenetration before expansion begins.Lab tests and street results have shown that Hollowpoints that expand in

gelatin will typically expand in street use. Hollowpoint bullets that barelyexpand in gelatin do not expand in real gunfights unless bone is hit. Thereare many loads sold to civilians and law enforcement that do not have enoughvelocity to insure reliable expansion.All COR®BON defensive ammo like our Traditional JHPs, Pow’RBall, and

DPX are designed with adequate velocity to expand in gelatin...or bad guys.COR®BON ammo expands reliably and creates Stopping Power!

DPX® is a solid copper, lead-free hollowpoint that does it all. Get the recoil and recovery of a light-weight high speed JHP and the penetration of a heavyweight round. Hard barrier penetrationon auto glass and steel are no problem while maintaining safe soft tissue penetration depths.

The COR®BON R&D team used FBI protocol testing procedures to developthe defensive line of DPX ammunition with soft tissue penetration of 12”–17"and reliable and consistent expansion. Recovered bullets are 150%-200%of their original size with 100% weight retention when recovered from thetest medium of 10% ballistic gelatin covered with four layers of 10 oz denim.To top it off,the permanent crush cavity is also considerably larger than thatof a typical JHP.

DPXQUICK FACTS

• Deep 12-17” penetrationon soft tissue

• Easily conquers hardbarriers like auto glassand steel

• Reduced recoil due tolighter weight projectile

• Lead-free, solid copperprojectile

This is the original jacketed hollowpoint. No wonder everyone tries to copy it. It’s been leading

the way for over 28 years and is tried and tested – again and again. What makes it so good

at delivering reliable penetration and expansion? One word: Velocity!

Here’s the deal. The energy created at the muzzle has to be transferred into the

target to be effective. That’s where we come in. Our JHP travels faster (sorry,

speed of light) so it expands with explosive shocking power as it hits the target.

Shocking power equals STOPPING POWER. And stopping power equals SAFETY.

Get the idea?

The year was 1974. Sky Marshals were faced with the possibility of having to use handguns on flights,but there were concerns of over-penetration on soft tissue as well as ricochets off hard surfaces.That led to the innovation of the Glaser Safety Slug® – a copper jacket filled with compressed load ofeither #12 or #6 lead shot and capped with a round polymer ball designed to enhance feeding andspeed loading.The #12 shot is capped with a blue ball to produce immediate energy dispersal for abrupt stoppingpower and is perfect for warmer climates and lighter clothing. The #6 shot is capped with a silverball for two more inches of soft tissue penetration, controlled energy release and target accuracy.It’s perfect for colder climates and heavier clothing.Either way, Glaser Safety Slug performs under pressure for personal protection either at home or ina crowded environment. Now available in 20-round value pack and traditional 6-round blister pack.

Once upon a time, pistols used to choke on large-mouthed JHP bullets. Then along

came Pow’RBall® with its patented design to eliminate feeding problems. Today, it’s

one of the most effective defensive rounds for personal protection you can buy.

So how does it work? This patented Pow’RBall JHP features a distinctively designed

bullet cavity topped with a proprietary polymer ball. This fixes feeding problems in

finicky pistols and controls expansion for deeper penetration, better weight reten-

tion, and more consistent performance in soft tissue.

POW’RBALLQUICK FACTS

• Reliable feeding

• Consistent expansion

• Deeper soft tissuepenetration

• Quicker recoveryfor follow-up shots

• Reduced recoil

• High velocity

Typical jacketed hollowpoints that do not move fast

enough tend to get clogged with fabric and debris.

This clogging makes it perform like a full metal jacket

projectile. It won’t expand and therefore increases

danger to innocent bystanders due to over-penetra-

tion. For these reasons, Pow’RBall is a great choice

for all your semi-auto pistols.

Feeds like a dream!When fired into 10% ballistic

gelatin covered with 4 layers of

denim, Pow'RBall ammunition

penetrated to optimum levels

and reliably expanded each and

every time. Performance rivals

the best jacketed hollowpoints.
