A 92-grain solid copper fragmenting projectile defines the G2 Research R.I.P. 9mm Luger (G2 Research part no. G00000), sold in a box of 20 rounds. G2 Research lists the round at 1250 fps and 319 ft-lbs of muzzle energy from a 4-inch barrel. The maker says the projectile creates 9 separate wound channels and cites a base penetration of 14 to 16 inches. It is machined from lead-free copper, so it suits shooters who want a non-lead 9mm.
