Who would win? Private healthcare or a Phillips screwbullet?

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

Nope, actually the opposite. They’re supposed to overpenetrate. But they look like they’re supposed to expand and fragment, right?

They do really cool stuff inside ballistics gel because of the surface pressure on that flattened tip

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.
