Extreme Shock Ammo
Read an article today in G&A about Extreme Shock ammo. Don't really understand the principal behind it, but maybe someone could explain and give + or - of this ammo. Thank you

Penetration tests that I saw last year showed the extreme shock ammo was actually worse than "mainstream" ammo. Save your money and buy some good stuff!

The Box O' Truth #23 - ExtremeShock™ Ammo and the Box O' Truth - Page 1
Here's the link for the review rocky was talking about. This is a good site. Kinda like the MythBusters of firearms.

What the heck is nitrilium anyway? Alien technology--they've been here again haven't they? I'd stay away from anything that's not listed in the periodic table myself.
