The G2 Research Civic Duty 10mm 122gr expanding defensive ammunition is engineered for reliable terminal performance in critical situations. Unlike conventional bonded hollow point designs that risk overpenetration and reduced kinetic energy transfer, Civic Duty ammunition is developed to deposit its full kinetic energy within the intended target. This design minimizes the potential for pass-through, optimizing energy transfer for effective threat neutralization in a controlled manner.
Key Features
Controlled Expansion
The Civic Duty projectile is designed for consistent, controlled expansion, achieving up to 2.5 times its initial diameter upon fluid contact. This precise expansion profile ensures efficient energy deposition within the target.
Barrier Performance
This ammunition demonstrates effective performance against common intermediate barriers. The projectile maintains its structural integrity and terminal performance characteristics without significant deviation after barrier engagement.
Optimized Energy Transfer
Engineered to transfer 100 percent of its kinetic energy into the target, this design mitigates the risk of overpenetration, which is critical in close-quarter engagements and personal defense scenarios.
Consistent Weight Retention
The projectile retains approximately 99.9 percent of its original weight post-expansion. This characteristic ensures consistent terminal performance and reliable wound channels, crucial for defensive applications where controlled penetration is paramount.
Trocar Design Integration
G2 Research has integrated an adapted Trocar design, derived from their R.I.P. fragmenting projectiles, into the Civic Duty line. This design approach contributes to the round’s ability to minimize overpenetration, offering a predictable and effective solution for 10mm self-defense ammunition needs in various defensive platforms, including concealed carry pistols.
