In the realm of self-defense ammunition, innovation is key. The Xtreme Defense Fluid Transfer Monolithic (XD FTM) stands as a testament to this truth, reshaping perceptions about bullet performance and efficacy.
The XD FTM borrows from the design philosophy of its predecessor, the Xtreme Penetrator. Its progressive nose geometry allows for deep and straight penetration while delivering a permanent wound cavity that surpasses most expanding bullets in diameter. This is achieved through an ingenious nose design where radial flutes harness hydraulic energy effectively.
As these radial flutes channel energy inward initially, it then accelerates outward under restriction, creating high-pressure spikes that inflict severe damage on surrounding tissue. Such dynamics result in cavitation — a phenomenon where massive tissue damage occurs at distances away from the projectile — akin to what one would expect from top-tier hollow points.
Constructed entirely of solid copper, this bullet offers more than just stopping power; it ensures environmental friendliness without compromising on performance. It remains unfazed by barriers like drywall or heavy clothing — challenges that often compromise conventional hollow point bullets' effectiveness.
The outcome? A self-defense round capable of shooting through obstacles while maintaining trajectory integrity and deformation resistance. With its potential to create wound cavities two to four times larger than those produced by flat or round-nose projectiles—and frequently exceeding even traditional expanding bullets—this ammunition promises both reliability and potency.
This remarkable capability culminates with an ideal penetration depth of 18 inches—a crucial factor for defensive scenarios where every inch matters as much as every second counts.
