    I’ve seen images of men with their testicles in a tourniquet and they did not look well at all. They weren’t even bleeding that much. It was less of a medical emergency and more of a hobby it seems.

    What is that gun‽ It looks like some kinda amalgamation of a bunch of different guns.

    The stock looks like an ak but the magazine and fore end are screaming Turkish shotgun.

    That big artery in the inner thigh. … Yeah you can die pretty fast if it gets severed.

    Femoral artery.

      Jfc I hope you’re not serious lol. These are self-defense rounds, meant to break apart inside the attacker or intruder, so you’re not shooting through walls, potentially killing people on the other side.

      Part of a defense training class includes, “know your target and what’s behind it” for a reason

          These aren’t really that effective compared to a hollow point. They create a big visual in ballistic gel, but in a more realistic medium they act more like an improved FMJ, but still over penetrate badly (which isn’t a good thing in most cases).

          They tend to be recommend as a bear round, where over-penetration is actually valuable and desired.

          The same manufacturer actually makes a deeper cut version that doesn’t over penetrate called the xtreme defender, which is generally still worse than a good hollow point in standard calibers, but can be a good option for weaker calibers like .380, where hollow point under-penetrate.

          however, for 9mm and above, you’re better off with a standard hollow point, which is more effective and far more affordable than the all-copper xtreme rounds.

            xtreme defender… can be a good option for weaker calibers like .380,

            That’s my use case. I load the 68gr defender over 4.1 grains of Win 231. These chrono 1,181fps out of the LCP’s 2.75" barrel. Feeds flawlessly, which surprised me a bit.

            A couple months ago American Reloading had 68gr Defender pulls for 27.6 cents each which is about half price and in the ballpark of top-tier hollowpoints.
