G2 Research R.I.P 12 Gauge 2-3/4" 303 Grain Fragmenting Brass Slug Ammo - Box of 5

The G2 Research R.I.P 12 Gauge 2-3/4" 303 Grain Fragmenting Brass Slug Ammo is a specialized self-defense round engineered for shooters who demand decisive terminal performance at close range. Built from solid brass and loaded as a box of five rounds, this 12 gauge slug delivers a radically different approach to shotgun ballistics: upon impact, five segmenting trocars detach from the main projectile, creating multiple wound channels while the base slug continues driving deeper. It's purpose-built for home defense and personal protection scenarios where a smooth-bore shotgun is your tool of choice.

The fragmenting design addresses a core self-defense objective: rapid stopping power through multiple trauma pathways. The base slug penetrates 14–16 inches, while the five trocars separately penetrate 9–11 inches with a 4–6 inch spread across the wound cavity. This creates six distinct projectile paths (the base plus five fragments) rather than a single wound channel, multiplying the potential for rapid incapacitation. The all-brass construction ensures reliability and consistency, but it also carries a critical limitation: this round is engineered exclusively for smooth-bore, cylinder-choke shotguns and cannot be safely fired through modified or tighter choke tubes.

Effective range is optimized for close-quarters encounters—zero to ten yards—where shotgun self-defense typically occurs. If you're outfitting a home-defense shotgun with a cylinder-bore barrel and want ammunition specifically designed to maximize trauma and stop threats decisively, the G2 Research R.I.P slug delivers a purpose-driven solution. Always verify your shotgun's barrel configuration before purchasing; using this round in anything other than a smooth-bore cylinder-choke shotgun is unsafe and not supported.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this ammo in my shotgun with a modified or improved cylinder choke?

No. The G2 Research R.I.P slug is designed exclusively for smooth-bore, cylinder-choke shotguns. It cannot be safely used in shotguns with modified chokes or tighter restrictions. Always verify your barrel configuration before loading any ammunition.

What's the difference between the base slug and the trocars in terms of penetration?

The main base slug penetrates 14–16 inches, continuing straight through the target. The five segmenting trocars break away upon impact and penetrate separately 9–11 inches, spreading across a 4–6 inch pattern. Together, this creates six wound channels rather than one.

Is this round designed for hunting or self-defense?

The G2 Research R.I.P is purpose-built for self-defense. Its design and effective range (0–10 yards) are optimized for home defense and personal protection scenarios, not hunting applications.

Does this ammo contain lead?

No. The projectile is solid brass construction and is lead-free.
