ANTI-TERRORISM ROUNDS. Jebus Chrysler what a load. 10 bucks for five bullets? Who in their right mind buys this stuff?

Glasers sell for that, don't they? Don't know anything about these, except what a racket for selling reloads.

They have terrorist detection modules built into each bullet so that if a terrorist fires them, even at contact range, the bullet will miss any innocent personnel and return to instantly neutralize the terrorist. It's extremely high tech stuff, not even the .gov has access to it yet.

Aha, that's why they are two bucks a pop.

I am extremely shocked that people spend their money on this.

It lends credibility to P.T. Barnum's quote about a sucker being born every minute.

Go to their official website, it's almost as fun as reading old mall ninja threads.

engineered to expend maximum energy into soft targets, turning the density mass into an expanding rotational cone of NyTrilium matrix particles, causing neurological collapse to the central nervous system

So, what caliber do you recommend for Agent Smith?

Does this stuff come with an action figure, or is it sold separately?

This stuff IS the action figure.

What is truely amusing is that the tip actually closes up when it hits something solid and it penetrates like a FMJ.

They are not marketing to kids, just adults with juvenile sensibilities.

More expensive is always better, right? ...........right?....... just ask any Ruger or Taurus or Rossi, etc., etc. basher - they can't be any good because they aren't pricey enoughhttp://www.woofboard.com/forum/images/smilies/rolleyes3.gif

ExtremeShock ammo is a running gag in and of itself. I'm surprised those guys are still in business...

Their ammo doesn't do anything a decent JHP wouldn't do (well, actually, their ammo doesn't do it at all and JHP's do... but I digress) and is obscenely expensive. Have a laugh and move on, is all.

I guess you guys never read Elmer Keith. He was all about "rotational cones" and "matrix particles". :scrutiny:

Actually, I never read Elmer Keith, and probably many of you have, but sometimes I do know conspicuously blazing nonsense when I see it.

Anti-Terrorist rounds???? So if some crackhead non-terrorist breaks into my house the bullet will not work???

The gang at the box o truth need to see how many layers of terrorist the bullet would penetrate:D Not drywall.

That is correct. These things are really awesome against terrorists, but not so stellar against anyone else. The terrorist detection module tends to send them flying off in the direction of jihadists. Just stagger the magazine with MagSafes and you'll be good to go.

I got a thousands rounds of this stuff from Gecko45.:cool: He said that his entire unit carries the stuff. If he really needs to, he can pull the actual bullet from the cartridge, and screw it into his ninja wall climbing boots. This allows him to climb bullet-proof glass walls. He once super-inverted-roundhouse-double-ax-kicked a terrorist with these boots and got 42" of penetration into the guys skull. AFTER going through the guys kevlar helmet.:what:

The next time my tactical wheel barrow's tire goes flat, I'll put the poor thing done with a few of these rounds... :neener:

You know those Extreme Shock rounds are what Chuck Norris carries. Oh, wait a minute, Chuck Norris doesn't need bullets. Or a gun...

SIRVEYR666 Your signature line is absolutely hillarious! "..and it's coloring books for christmas time..." Holy Cow I haven't laughed at something I read in a long time. Thanks for that. As to the unholyiest of hole making boolets... I've come to the opinion that the guy's (as only a man would actually write something so foolish) who wrote this showed just a little more restraint than the folks who write for those extreeme training secrets that some jagoff who's killed 'foty men by looking at them with his stinkeye / drunk monkey technique. "For only three installments of ..." It's like Homer Simpson getting the crayon jammed further up his nose until he says "Lifetime warranty! How can I go wrong!"

Interesting observation, the extreme shock adds are written with the same level of hyperbole as liberal antigun legislation speeches! That's the thing about clowns, they come in all shapes and sizes but they're never funny for long.

I guess it's marketed to avid CounterStriker players who play only on the CT side for "moral reasons". :D

If you look closely at those three "ninjas," you will find they are all the same dude.

sadly, i'd be willing to bet that at those prices, the people who shoot this stuff have probably do stuff like put one of these on top of their magazine, followed by a glaser, followed by a moldy 15-yr old black talon.... having never actually fired any of them enough to know if they'll feed, fire, function.

oh well... it should only take natural selection another 80,000 years or so to take care of that sort of behavior

I'm a tad young to remember the Cold War....

Just wondering if "anti-Communist rounds" were ever made? :D
