Discussion is good!You have to ask yourself why this bullet has been around since 2017 and not a single large agency or department has adopted it. Even a basic understanding of fluid dynamics and pistol velocity rounds would make you shake your head at their claims. Not to mention a lighter bullet transfers less kinetic energy than a heavy, them making it lighter and faster is counterproductive to deep tissue penetration by any common sense, even with their cringy fluid dynamics claims.
I watched the video and the comical explanation on the mysterious fluid dynamics causing the ballistics gel (Which I have shot a lot of) to expand. The reason the bullet stopped so short in the second block was because its got so little mass behind it, not some mysterious temporary wound cavity.
Not trying to disrespect a round you seem very vested in, but there is a reason most reviews saw it as an expensive gimmick with a heavy advertising component behind it. I would like to see some actual shootings in live tissue with it, not ballistic gel as their foremost data. Gel is a constant and doesnt present voids or pressure filled spaces to really gauge performance.
Just some thoughts, not meant to rile you up.
I researched their claims and the technology behind the FTM quite a bit before I spent any money.
The fluting/FTM in the XD/XP bullets is actually an "old" technology.
According to many accounts, some FBI agents use the XD/XP bullets, at least to some degree.
The gel footage proves that the technology works. Whether there would be "voids" in transferred energy in live tissue or not is unseen.
Known shortfall with HPs is plugging, causing the bullet to function as a FMJ.
