G2 Research Ammunition

About G2 Research

G2 Research was founded in 2013 by Chris Nix in Winder, Georgia, with the mission to revolutionize self-defense bullet technology.

The company launched with the goal of creating ammunition that would outperform traditional hollow point designs through innovative engineering and manufacturing techniques.

G2 Research achieved a major breakthrough in 2014 with the release of their flagship R.I.P. (Radically Invasive Projectile) ammunition, which gained widespread attention in the firearms industry.

The company has pushed the envelope in defensive ammunition design, moving beyond traditional hollow point concepts to create fragmenting projectiles that create multiple wound channels.

Today, G2 Research continues to innovate with their "Ammunition Evolved" mission, developing cutting-edge copper-based projectile technology for modern defensive applications.

Popular G2 Research Features

Fragmenting Technology

• Unique trocar-pointed design creates up to 9 separate wound channels upon impact while the central core continues forward for deep penetration.

All-Copper Construction

• 100% copper projectiles with no lead content provide environmentally conscious design and California compliance for non-lead ammunition requirements.

Advanced Energy Technology (AET)

• Fragments lose energy quickly to minimize over-penetration risk, making them ideal for use in enclosed environments.

High Velocity Performance

• Lightweight projectiles achieve exceptional velocities, with 9mm R.I.P. reaching 1,250+ fps for enhanced terminal ballistics.

CNC-Machined Precision

• Precision manufacturing ensures consistency across all projectiles with horizontal cannelures cut for controlled fragmentation.

Premium Components

• Nickel-plated brass cases with boxer primers and non-corrosive design provide reliable performance and reloadability.
