When looked at in profile, the ARX bullet shape still has a full round nose, unlike standard hollow-point bullets. But its principles are sound, and the uncommon bullet construction promises some other potentially life-saving benefits.ĪRX bullets are made from a copper polymer composite and molded into their bladed shape. Until more testing is performed by independent shooters it’s effectiveness as a self-defense or hunting round is unknown. There’s nothing else quite like it and right now, it should be considered experimental. 45, which is light even by all-copper standards - Pol圜ase has been uploading videos of their ARX ammo’s performance in ballistics gel, and the penetration is within FBI standards, something a lot of low-weight, high-velocity ammo can’t claim. Although the projectiles weigh less than lead-cored bullets - from 56 grains in. 40 and 9mm, respectively.īecause the bullets don’t expand they offer relatively high penetration compared to traditional lightweight hollow-points. 45 and as high as 1,350 and 1,475 FPS for. They’re all speedy compared to most conventional ammo with speeds ranging from 1150 feet-per-second for. 40 S&W - with other handgun and rifle cartridges to follow. Pol圜ase is launching the ARX line with the four most popular handgun cartridges. All of the calibers in production are loaded for speed. It requires a lot of resistance to create the sheer forces to create expansion and these bullets cook. In order for this to work reliably the projectile has to be moving fast, the faster the better. The bullet has three scoop-shaped vanes that work like a tiny propeller molded into each polymer-copper projectile. The ARX bullet still uses the same principles but instead of having a large, flat surface to create a cavity, it has small, aggressively-contoured surface. Expanding or hollow-point bullets represent the majority of self-defense designs, with some special-purpose exceptions like fracturing, fragmenting and deforming projectiles. Pol圜ase’s Inceptor ammo breaks the mold - no pun intended - when it comes to self-defense projectile design. Still, most self-defense ammo employs the same convention: create a large tissue cavity through controlled expansion. The self-defense ammunition market has grown quite a bit the in past few years as more people across the country adopt everyday carry practices. #TAG# POLY-9ARXBRLUG-2 POLY-9ARX POLY-9 POLY #TAG#The Inceptor ARX is unlike anything out there, a non-expanding self-defense round. Note:- All orders containing ammunition must ship UPS Ground Quantity: 250 Rounds (25 Cartridges X 10 Case) In soft tissue, the ARX is designed to penetrate 12 inch to 14 inch, every time.

As the bullet penetrates it tumbles in a controlled, predictable fashion that delivers very consistent terminal performance that equals or exceeds conventional hollow point designs. Upon entering soft tissue, the specially designed grooves in the nose harness the rotational energy of the bullet during the initial 6 inch of penetration. The ARX penetrates straight until it encounters soft tissue. Even the heaviest clothing barriers have no effect on the terminal performance of the ARX bullet. The non-expanding ARX is injection-molded from a specially blended copper/polymer matrix that is designed to be tough enough to penetrate soft targets and tissue, but when it encounters tougher barriers it is designed to break apart to reduce the risk for collateral damage due to over penetration.
