In the thread on ceramic bullets, Jeff OTG said "Don't know about ceramic bullets, but my primary carry load uses a polymer bullet. See the load information at:
http://www.rbcd.net/"
I checked out the web site and found that RBCD has had a booth at Dallas shows and that I had stopped to watch their video taped presentation last time I went. This is the supposedly perfect ammo for home and personal defense.
In order to show the effectiveness of the .45 RBCD rounds in comparison with Hydrashok 230 gr. .45 ammo, they shot clay blocks which are shown on the web site. As I recall, the guy at the table said the blocks were 8" cubes and weighed about 12 lbs each. The clay was used to simulate the human body. First the shot with the Hydrashok. It put an impressive hole in the block, but the bullet passed through. At that point, the guy at the table said that had this been a person, there would have been over penetration and someone behind him could have been killed or injured. Then the shot with the RBCD ammo and the other clay block fantastically changed shape, but the round supposedly did not over penetrate like with the Hydrashok, but instead was converted into tiny pieces and the energy of the bullet was completely deposited into the clay block. Then, the video was stopped.
The guy went on to say how the RBCD bullets could be used to shoot through auto glass or sheet metal because they won't fragment there, which I find rather amazing.
At this point, I thought the presentation was getting a little too far fetched for me and I made some snide comment that the next time I end up end a gun fight with Pokey and Gumby, I will be sure to have RBCD ammo. The man at the table was not amused.
