OPS Rounds

Designed for law enforcement and personal defense, the OPS (One Precise Shot) rounds from Ammo Incorporated feature a hollow-point frangible HPF projectile made to transfer 100% of its energy into the target so the rounds can track straight through soft barriers like drywall and auto glass. Upon entering soft tissue, the jacket and core separate with furious force of impact, resulting in mass force trauma, according to the company.
