It was fired from a Bersa .380 just so you know. Here's a pic of the round to prove it.



P.S. Powerball and JHP are NOT the same as DPX.

I love being roved wrong!! Dang it to heck!!

The EMP is a +P rated firearm.

Cor-Bon DPX uses the Barnes X-Bullet which is solid copper and thus has no jacket or lead to seperate. What you see in the picture is the entire bullet expanded as designed. To maintain weight the bullet is longer than standard JHP bullets.

Yeah... I am starting to see more magazine articles and internet tests on the DPX and it is quite a performer.

the only nine I would trust my life with is an open bolt 9mm UZI, due to the increased velocity of the open bolt. Otherwise get a better gun.

Well, after serving 2 tours in Iraq and 1 in Afghanistan, both times carrying a Beretta M9, I am quite confident that a 9mm can, will and has saved my life and stopped the threat. I have absolute faith in the 9mm round built by experience.
